News - Middle East - Iran: The official website of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has posted a photo-montage of former US President Donald Trump playing golf under the shadow of a drone, vowing to avenge the assassination of Iran’s Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani.

The image, which was posted on the Khamenei.ir website on Friday, carried the text of remarks by Ayatollah Khamenei in December on the occasion of the first martyrdom anniversary of General Soleimani, in which he said “Revenge is certain.”

“The assassin of Soleimani and the one who ordered the murder should be punished,” the text read.

“As a esteemed person said, Soleimani's shoe is worth more than the assassin's head and even decapitation of the assassin will not compensate for Soleimani's shoe; but they did the wrong thing,” it added.

“They should be punished. The one who ordered and the assassin should know that they should be punished at any time possible.”

General Soleimani was assassinated along with his Iraqi trenchmate Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the deputy head of the Popular Mobilization Units, and their companions in a US terror drone strike authorized by Trump near Baghdad International Airport on January 3, 2020.

The two figures were highly popular because of the key role they played in eliminating the US-sponsored Daesh terrorist group in the region.

On December 16, Ayatollah Khamenei said revenge for Iran’s senior commander is certain and will be exacted at the right time.
