“There is constructive cooperation with neighbouring Iraq on the issue,” the spokesman added.

On January 3, 2020, on Trumpā€™s instructions, the US Army killed Soleimani, who was on a visit to Iraq with a rocket attack near Baghdad airport.

The influential Iraqi militia leader Abu Mahdi al-Mohandes, the deputy head of Iraqā€™s Hashd al-Shaabi militia, was also killed.

Soleimani was the commander of the elite Quds Force, part of an elite unit of the Iranian armed forces.

He coordinated the activities of militias loyal to Iran in Iraq and other countries.

President Hassan Rowhani of Iran has called Soleimani a national hero and he has become a legend in the region after his assassination by the U.S.

Tehran will avenge his murder ā€œin due courseā€ and at the same time take legal action against Trump and the Pentagon, Rowhani said.
