Baqeri stressed the need to follow Gen Soleimani’s guidelines.
He further highlighted determination of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Muslim nations and freedom-seekers across the world advocating proportionate retaliation of the crime.
Iran’s Armed Forces will continue following up the resistance ideology with strong motivation, he stressed.
