The generalities and details of the
"emergency motion" were unanimously passed
during an open session of the parliament on
Tuesday.
On Friday, Soleimani was killed in a U.S.
airstrike at Baghdad Airport.
In April 2019, Iran's Supreme National
Security Council also announced U.S. Central
Command forces in West Asia as "terrorist
group" in retaliation for designation of the
IRGC as "a foreign terrorist organization"
by the United States.
