The US strike on Baghdad international airport early Friday killed a total of five Iranian Revolutionary Guards and five members of Iraq’s Hashed.

Among the dead was Hashed’s deputy head Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, a top adviser and personal friend to Soleimani.

“It is clear Soleimani is one of the bloodiest terrorists. He has exported global terrorism, and he has the blood of American troops on his hands. He has killed hundreds of American troops. I represent Fort Drum’s 10th Mountain Division — the most deployed unit in the Army since 9/11. Those troops have risked their lives and were targeted by Soleimani and his Quds forces. This is a terrorist exported through proxies, whether it is Hezbollah, Hamas, and has sowed disorder in the middle east Syria, Yemen and Iraq. He should not be revered, and The Washington Post and should apologize and retract that statement.”
