General Qassem Soleimani, one of the principal of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, and the vice-president of a XII Iraqi Militia, Abu Mahdi al Mohandes, have been murdered by the United States. The paper, which was broadcast from the Pentagon, attributes to Soleimani and the Quds Forces that led it "the responsibility of killing hundreds of Americans and coalition members and hurting thousands of people."

The missile attack took place at the Airoporpu in Baghdad (Arg. : Radio Televisión de the Islamic Republic of Iran)

Iran's foreign minister, Mohamad Javad Zarif, has described Iraq's attack on Iran as "very dangerous". "Dangerous," added Javad Zarif, "because Soleimani was the most effective force fighting the Islamic State (IS), the Nusra Front and Al Qaeda." That is why the Iranian supreme leader, Ali Jamenei, warned that "there will be a harsh response from the Iranians".

Syria’s defeat intensifies the Palestinian tragedy
The Israeli plan has – and will – become more and more viable to expel the Palestinian people from their martyred lands. It's the same thing that happened in the past with the Indian ethnicities of the Far West American. The war against Iran is closer than ever.

Attack the Iranian nuclear programme? Experts say no, that the needles of time do
