Iran abandons nuclear deal over US killing general, reports say
More CoverageAfter thousands in Baghdad on Saturday mourned Suleimani and others killed in the strike, authorities flew the general’s body to the southwestern Iranian city of Ahvaz. An honor guard stood by early Sunday as mourners carried the flag-draped coffins of Suleimani and other Guard members off the tarmac.
Officials brought Suleimani’s body to Ahvaz, a city that was a focus of fighting during the bloody 1980-88 war between Iraq and Iran in which the general slowly grew to prominence. After that war, Suleimani joined the Guard’s newly formed Quds Force, an expeditionary force that works with Iranian proxy forces in countries such as Iraq, Lebanon and Yemen.
This marks the first time Iran has honored a single man with a multi-city ceremony. Not even Khomeini received such a processional with his death in 1989. Suleimani on Monday will lie in state at Tehran’s famed Musalla mosque as the revolutionary leader did before him.
