Iran Claims 48 US Citizens Were Involved in Soleimani Killing

This company, which handled the security of the flight in which the Persian general was traveling, informed the attackers about the arrival of his plane in Baghdad.

From Germany, the U.S. Ramstein Air Base also provided data to those who were operating the drones used in the bombing.

Alqasi also mentioned that the prosecution will present the complaint against the perpetrators of this crime before international courts.

Soleimani was assassinated by a U.S. drone strike in front of the Baghdad airport on January 3, 2020. Five days later, in retaliation to this attack, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard fired missiles at the U.S. base of Ain al Asad in Iraq.

So far, Persian authorities have issued international arrest warrants for 45 U.S. citizens involved in the killing.

On the morning of Wednesday, AP reported that the U.S. bombers flew over the Persian Gulf, possibly as a maneuver designed to deter Iran from attacking US military targets in the anniversary week of Soleimani's death.
