Tehran University held a ceremony to mark the first anniversary of the US assassination of Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani and deputy leader of Iraq's Popular Mobilization Units Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis.

Iran’s minister of science and technology who was attending the ceremony said that universities and academic centers have great capacities to keep the path of general Soleimani alive by studying different aspects of his personality and beliefs.

The event in Tehran came as people and officials attended a ceremony in the city of Kerman, the burial place of General Qassem Soleimani to remember his lofty status one year after his martyrdom.

General Soleimani the commander of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps and his trench mate Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, from Iraq’s popular Mobilization units were assassinated along with their companions in a US terror drone strike near Baghdad international airport on January 3 2020.

Iranian officials believe that more than anything the US assassination of General Qassem Soleimani proves to the global public opinion that the US administration is the leading sponsor of terrorism in the world.
