Tehran - For all the raw out there who believe there is such a thing as a “proxy war” in West Asia; they are mistaken. And for all those who misunderstand the nature of the region and its geopolitics, please go read some history. And yes, it’s West Asia not the “Middle East”, and it’s not a “proxy war” it’s resistance in face of American hegemony and imperialism.

The imprudence of the American President Trump has reached its peak by assassinating the Iranian General Qassem Soleimani, who has had a major role in fighting terrorism and Takfiri groups aka Daesh, al-Nusra and others in the region. Obviously Soleimani has made Trump so furious he could not hold his horses.

Top Iranian commander Major General Qassem Soleimani was assassinated on Friday in a US assault on Baghdad's international airport, in the most foolish move of what is seen as US drums of war.

The American administration does not seem to understand the mindset of the resistance front in West Asia yet. As Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif says, the assassination of the Quds Force chief Soleimani would strengthen resistance against the United States and Israel in the region and the world.

“The brutality and stupidity of American terrorist forces in assassinating Commander Soleimani... will undoubtedly make the tree of resistance in the region and the world more prosperous,” Zarif said in a statement.

“The US bears responsibility for all consequences of its rogue adventurism,” Zarif also said on Twitter.

The US said it had carried out the operation. The move was directed by US President Donald Trump, the Pentagon said.

“A crushing revenge will be taken for Soleimani’s unjust assassination ... We will take revenge from all those involved and responsible for his assassination,” Iranian Defense Minister Amir Hatami was quoted by state news agency IRNA.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said his death will make Iran “more decisive” in its resistance against the US.

“Soleimani’s martyrdom will make Iran more decisive to resist America’s expansionism and to defend our Islamic values,” said on state television,” Rouhani said on state television.

“There is no doubt that the great nation of Iran and the other free nations of the region will take revenge for this gruesome crime from criminal America,” the Iranian President added.

“Suleimani is the single most powerful operative in the Middle East today,” John Maguire, a former C.I.A. officer in Iraq had described him in 2013.

Declaring three days of mourning across the country, Iran's leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei vowed to take "severe revenge" for Soleimani's assassination. He stated that the deadly strike is Washington’s ‘greatest miscalculation’ since World War II. He underscored in his statement "The martyr, Soleimani, was an international resistance figure, and all those who loved him are calling for revenge for his blood."

For the first time since a very long time, Seyed Khamenei takes part in the session held by the Council for National Security by that declaring that there is no time to mourn, it’s time to take action.

Hezbollah Secretary General His Eminence Sayed Hassan Nasrallah also said in a statement that “the assassination of brother Soleimani is a strong motive for us who remain alive to continue on the same path.”

Israelis should hide in their shelters, and Trump must be expecting a harsh retaliation every second. Trump through his gamble has dragged the US into the most dangerous situation in the region and he should be ready to face the consequences.

Soleimani was not only an Iranian general, he was rather the most prominent figure in the resistance front or resistance axis in the region that has been fighting imperialism, American hegemony and Israeli apartheid.

Martyrdom is just the reward for his ceaseless efforts all these years, as expressed by the leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei.

Martyr Soleimani is an Intl figure of Resistance & all such people will seek revenge.
