The killing of the top military leader marks a major escalation in regional tensions that has pitted Tehran against the US and Washington's allies in the region. Soleimani was revered in Iran, where three days of national mourning have been declared. The country's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei vowed revenge for the killing, saying that "harsh revenge awaits the criminals" involved. Soleimani and the force he commanded were responsible for the deaths of hundreds of American and coalition service members, and the wounding of thousands more, the Pentagon said.
