The Iranian mullahs are trying to portray Soleimani as a saint, but he was actually planning to take Americans hostage in the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad.
“Iran Calls for Trump and Pompeo To Be Tried for Soleimani Assassination,” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, January 3, 2022:
Iran’s hardline president Ebrahim Raisi is calling for former president Donald Trump and his secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, to be put on trial for the assassination of terror mastermind Qassem Soleimani.
Marking the second anniversary of Soleimani’s death by a U.S. drone strike, Raisi and other top Iranian officials celebrated Soleimani’s decades of terrorism and fomented anti-U.S. fervor during a massive rally in Tehran. If Trump and Pompeo are not put on trial, Muslims across the globe “will avenge his martyrdom,” Raisi said, hinting at possible terror attacks. Raisi also said that Trump should be “prosecuted and killed.” Iran claims it has new evidence that Israel was involved in the U.S. drone strike and is petitioning the United Nations to launch unspecified legal proceedings against American and Israeli officials.
“The aggressor, murderer, and the key criminal, namely the former U.S. president must be tried for the heinous crime of assassinating Gen. Soleimani,” Raisi was quoted as saying in the country’s state-controlled press. “You [the Americans] not only violated Iraq’s sovereignty, but you also assassinated a nation, not just an individual.”…
Raisi said that Iran will continue to deploy Soleimani’s violent methods.
“His school [of thought] will not die out with assassination and missiles because a school will remain forever,” Raisi said.
Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations also petitioned the global body on Monday to formally hold Israel and the United States responsible for Soleimani’s death. In a letter to the president of the U.N. Security Council, Iran’s ambassador urged nations to sanction “U.S. terrorist forces” criminally liable for Soleimani’s death.
Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, a chief Iranian proxy group, also gave an address on Monday honoring Soleimani and urged terror groups in Iraq to step up their ongoing attacks on American positions in the country.

“If Trump and Pompeo are not put on trial, Muslims across the globe ‘will avenge his martyrdom’, Raisi said….”
No, they won’t. Iran has no friends, outside of proxy mercenaries, in the Arab World. This message was propaganda, directed at the Iranian citizens, to hide the facts that the leadership of Iran has isolated itself and is frightened that it may have fomented an attack by Israel.
Soleimani’s death was a clear illustration that any militant Iranian “leader” is vulnerable.

I like the idea, Westman, that all militant Iranian leaders are vulnerable. Better that way. Much so as your comment clearly indicates.

Agreed, Westman.

We need to prosecute all those who facilitated and industrialised the Islamic invasion of Europe that eventually will lead to an Islamic takeover of most of our countries within two generations, at least in the Western European countries. They are the ones who needs to be prosecuted for high-treason.
Wellington says
I agree but I highly doubt this will happen. The Blairs, Merkels, Pope Francises and Trudeaus will go to their death without prosecution in spite of their horrible and destructive decision making.
Such is the way of life so many times, i.e., life is manifestly unfair, even to the point of cruel farce and beyond, never more so than that exhibited by highly foolish leaders. Has always been this way. Will always be this way.

I’d be happy just to see these policies reversed. I think it would be difficult to distinguish ignorance from ill intent in a court of law–even if law courts were far sane than they are today.

We need to hammer away that Taliban Afghanistan will be dunned for payments to families of victims of 9/11 until every last member of Qaida or Daesh-Khorasan and other such terrorist groups residing in Afghanistan is arrested and extradited to the USA at Taliban expense. They can make the peasants who supported them pay in kind if they don’t have the cash ay hand.
Further, since the West is supposedly irredeemably rayssissed, all those who helped organize the caravans from the Middle East, North Africa, and Central America should be arrested and prosecuted to the full extent of the law for human trafficking. Detainees at Gitmo should be put under military tribunal ASAP, with Congress passing a bill that none of them found guilty should ever be allowed US asylum or other immigration benefits, even if present in the USA (after the worst, such as Khaled Sheikh Muhammad, are executed). The US, and some other countries, could then bring back the chain gang for repairing roads, saving taxpayers a bit of money.

Instead of holding the Taliban financially complicit for 9/11, Biden and other fools around the West want to send them boatloads of cash.

Agree!

So the “nation” was “assassinated,” but not the “school,” because the “school will remain forever”?
If the “nation was assassinated,” then how is this creep still alive to bluster and carry on with his threats?
If one is aware that a hit man is coming for him, he is allowed to engage in self-defense. Self-defense is not murder nor assassination. It is legal killing of a predator.

There is no logic in Islam.

The President Rasis would have the gall to demand the Donald Trump be prosecuted and executed for his order takeout that Iranian general , Qassem Soleimani..
Therefore Rasis makes that outlandish and outrageous demand for the following reasons.
First , because Rasis knows that evil Joe Biden detests President Trump because he hates everything Trump stands for , as solid secure US/Mexican borders. , comming down on crime and favoring the American free enterprise system which is in contrast to Biden’s Socialist economic schemes as well as friendship and good relations with the Jewish State of Israel. So Rasis knows that Biden would be glad to find an excuse to prosecuted Donald Trump.
Second, Rasis also knows that Biden is a weak old man who is a puppet “President” who will easily “cave in” to pressure put on him by others. For Biden is ,indeed, a stooge of other in high power who are stronger and much more intelligent than him.
Third, Biden , the fool that he is, is just continuing the policy of Obama when he was President of favoring that belligerent , hostile Islamic regime of Iran by giving that the heads of that Islamic tyranny everything they want.
Forth, Rasis is naturally knowledgeable and well aware that Biden does “owe ” that “mullah regime ” of Iran much because that November 2020 ‘national election” such such a rigged hoax because even those Muslim tyrants of Iran had actually meddled and interfered in the American presidential election by supporting the Biden bid for the Oval Office during the elections year of 2020.
So now in the year 2021 is their stooge and useful idiot to archive they want to obtain on their Islamic agenda.
One of the many reliable sources that will confirm this is the video documentary TRUMP CARD by Dinesh D’ Souza.

More unhinged crap from Iran:
“Iran: Biden White House also ‘responsible’ for Soleimani killing”

Walter Sieruk says
As for that drone strike that President Trump ordered to eliminate that dangerous destructive and murderous jihad-minded warlord Iranian general Qassem Soleimani , that was a wise decision and showed the good judgement of President Trump.
This is so because Qassem was a vicious savage man and deadly man and the only way that he could be dealt with , as in “taken out ofthe picture ” of Islamic terrorism was to have him be eliminated by the power of an airborne military strike.
As Thomas Jefferson had ,so well stated then he wrote “With every barbarous people …force is law.”

Iran’s President Raisi says Trump should be ‘prosecuted and killed’ for Soleimani killing
………………..
How dare Americans not want to be taken hostage! Bad dhimmis!
OLD GUY says
Trumps mistake was not taking the entire Iranian leadership and Iran down. When you think about it what would the world have lost without Iran and its hate for the rest of the world? As a civilized person I find the killing of millions of people repulsive, however one has to realize also that Iran’s plan is to do exactly that to US.
