A ceremony was held in Tehran on Tuesday in remembrance of fallen Iranian military personnel who fought in Iraq and Syria.

The event, which commemorated “200 Martyred Defenders of the Holy Shrines”, was attended by the head of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Quds Force Esmail Ghaani and other Iranian officials.

“Did you think you’ve killed and everything is finished?” questioned Ghaani, in reference to the assasination of the late Quds Force commander Qasem Soleimani by US forces.

“Islamic society will take such revenge on you, and also the free people of the world will take revenge on you, the criminals, in various ways, so that you do not forget for a lifetime,” said Ghaani, in a message of warning.

Visuals illustrating Soleimani were displayed during the ceremony in a celebration of his memory.

Soleimani was killed near Baghdad's international airport, together with the deputy head of Iraq's Hashd al-Shaabi or Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), Mohammed Ali Ebrahimi, also known as Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis on January 3, 2020.

The Pentagon released a statement confirming the US had carried out the airstrike at the order of its then US president Donald Trump, calling it a "decisive defensive action to protect US personnel abroad."
