In a shocking revelation, the commander of US Centcom, General McKenzie, confessed to his direct involvement in the assassination of Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani in his memoirs, published in the Atlantic magazine. The secretary of the High Council for Human Rights, Kazem Gharibabadi, condemned this admission, stating that it further exposes the evil actions of the US and its accomplices.
Gharibabadi highlighted that not only Trump and Pompeo but also General McKenzie are the main defendants in the ongoing case in Iranian courts. He urged for a swift trial to ensure justice prevails.
The forthcoming memoir “The Melting Point” by McKenzie details the covert operation that led to the assassination of Soleimani, with McKenzie taking direct responsibility as the head of US Central Command. Soleimani, along with Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis and others, was killed in a US drone strike near Baghdad Airport on January 3, 2020.
