The deputy head of the Iranian Judiciary for international affairs, Ali Bagheri, said Feb. 15 that “Iran and Iraq are following up on the judicial dossier relating to the assassination of Quds Force commander Qasem Soleimani,” who was killed in a US airstrike that hit his vehicle Jan. 3 along with Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the deputy commander in the Popular Mobilization Units.
Bagheri said, “There is a joint action with Iraq, and judiciary chief Ebrahim Raisi spoke to his Iraqi counterpart over the phone.”
