Chief Advisor to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Akbar Velyati has warned the US of the consequences of the assassination of General Qasem Soleimani, the IRGC commander of the Quds special forces, Mehr reported.

Martyrdom of General Qasem Soleimani, to whom we owe most of our victories, will give a new life to the Resistance Front, Velayati said.

“Americans and their mercenaries will pay for the consequences of this terrorist crime,” he added.

With the support of regional countries, the Resistant Axis will take General Soleimani’s revenge, he said, adding that the path of the General will be followed with more resistance and authority.

General Soleimani has been one of the main figures in the fight against terrorism in the past few years in Iraq and Syria.

Iranian officials, including the country's top leader, have vowed to avenge the US for his assassination.
