The Iranian military marked the 40-day anniversary of the assassination of Major General Qassem Soleimani by rattling their saber and threatening both the United States and Israel. 

Major General Hossein Salami, head of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said that Iran is prepared to attack both the U.S.and Israel if either makes the “slightest error.” 

Speaking on television, Salami said “If you make the slightest error, we will hit both of you,” at the ceremony honoring Soleimani. MG Soleimani was head of the Quds Force of the IRGC, which conducts operations outside of Iran. He was killed in a drone strike by the United States back on January 3 along with Iraqi militia commander Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis.

Soleimani’s plane had landed at Baghdad airport in Iraq and the U.S., after learning about his arrival, took him out with a drone strike as his small vehicular convoy was leaving the airport. Soleimani and the Quds Force have coordinated, trained, equipped, and led terrorist organizations and proxy militia groups around the globe. Soleimani was responsible for the deaths of over 600 Americans in Iraq.
