I extend my condolences to the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution ‎‎[Ayatollah Khamenei], his esteemed family, and all of the Iranian people and to the ‎resistance fighters of the Islamic Resistance Front.”‎

Hujjat al-Islam Kalantari said that passive and ignorant people realize that the United States ‎is the enemy of the Islamic world and stressed, “The martyrdom of Haj Soleymani will ‎increase the impetus to fight the United States.
