Nasrallah: Trump killed Soleimani because US election coming up
Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah says Donald Trump’s killing of Iranian general Qassem Soleimani is an electoral stunt.
Speaking live from Beirut, he calls the assassination by the US forces early Friday a “crime,” and says Soleimani died as he wished, as a martyr.
“Trump wants to dominate Iran,” he claims.
