Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei said the country would take revenge after the United States took out Qassem Soleimani, commander of the head of Iran’s elite Quds Force.

“Years of sincere, brave efforts fighting against the devils & villainous in the world and years of wishing for martyrdom on the path of God finally took the dear Commander of Islam, Soleimani, to this lofty status. His blood was shed by the most barbaric of men,” Khamenei said in a statement posted on Twitter.
