Exclusive Video: Mass Stampede at Qasem Soleimani Funeral Causes 40 Deaths
Qassem Soleimani to the millions of people of Iran, Iraq, Syria and the Middle East, was known as the butcher of families & the destroyer of cities.
But for the Democrats, he was innocent and President Trump was the one that killed an innocent man, but the forget that Soleimani was responsible for at least 600 US soldier deaths in Iraq.
Today a mass stampede by mourners at the funeral of Iranian military commander Qasem Soleimani caused 40 deaths and injuries to 213 others on Tuesday morning, Iran state media reports.
The military leader’s coffin was part of a procession that moved through the streets of his hometown of Kerman in the southeast of Iran on the fourth day of his funeral.
“So far 40 people were killed and 213 others were wounded in the incident,” the official told Fars.

Iran’s state media, propagandists & others seeking to score political points will claim “this shows the Iranian people loved Soleimani…” pic.twitter.com/SDACFgfYFz— Heshmat Alavi (@HeshmatAlavi) January 7, 2020
