The leader of the Iran-backed Hezbollah called on Shiite militias in the Middle East to attack American military assets—including suicide bombings—in the wake of Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani’s death in Iraq.

“It is the U.S. military that killed Haj Qassem, and they must pay the price,” said Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of the Lebanese group that has been designated as a terrorist organization by the U.S. Department of State, in a speech on Sunday, reported The Washington Post.
