【Iran's Foreign Minister Pays Homage to General Soleimani】Wow, for the first time, Iran's Foreign Minister Araghchi arrived today at Baghdad Airport in Iraq, specifically to visit the site near the airport where General Soleimani was assassinated.
This is the first time since Soleimani was targeted and killed by a Trump-ordered strike in 2020 that such a high-ranking Iranian official has openly come to "pay respects" at the assassination site.
Araghchi laid a wreath, while Iraqi authorities provided a prominent motorcade escort.
Earlier today, Iraq’s Special Security Forces deployed across Baghdad’s Green Zone and surrounding areas, carrying out operations involving judicial arrest warrants targeting senior officials, politicians, and security personnel.
Amid ongoing internal instability in Iraq, Araghchi’s visit primarily aimed to coordinate the Iraqi segment of Ayatollah Khamenei’s funeral arrangements—after all, grand events are planned in the two major Shia holy cities of Najaf and Karbala.
Arranging the funeral of the Leader and visiting the site where Soleimani died are logically interconnected.
Khamenei and Soleimani were closely allied—two of the most influential figures in Iran and the broader Middle East—who both died at the hands of Americans.
Araghchi appeared extremely solemn, yet it was clear this moment carried a sense of triumph.
In the past, Americans could freely interfere with Iran’s interests, leaving Iran feeling helpless. But now, they’ve experienced the consequences.
Try us if you dare.
