NEW YORK, July 22 –  The secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran, Ali Shamjani, assured this Wednesday that the United States expects a harsher revenge for killing the General of the Corps of the Guardians of the Revolution, Qasem Soleimani.

The Iraqi Prime Minister, before his visit to Khamenei, met with the Iranian President, Hasan Rohani, and reiterated that Iraq seeks ties with Iran that are based on “non-interference” in its internal affairs.
