DONALD Trump taunted Iran today by saying General Qasem Soleimani should have been 'taken out many years ago' on Twitter. It comes as Iran's defence minister has threatened the US with "crushing revenge" and "jihad" in retaliation for General Qasem Soleimani's assassination.
President Donald Trump first began his twitter tirade by posting the American flag without comment, shortly after it was revealed that General Soleimani had been killed by US airstrikes.
At around 12.45pm today he followed with another tweet: "Iran never won a war, but never lost a negotiation!"
The drone strike came days after protesters attacked the US embassy in Baghdad, clashing with US forces at the scene.

"Qassem Soleimani is responsible for the death of American citizens and many other innocent people. He was planning more such attacks."
