MIDEAST: Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned that a "harsh
retaliation is waiting" for the U.S. Iranian state TV carried a statement by
Khamenei also calling Soleimani "the international face of resistance." Khamenei
declared three days of public mourning for the general's death. Also, an adviser
to Iran's President Hassan Rouhani warned President Donald Trump of retaliation
from Tehran. "Trump through his gamble has dragged the U.S. into the most
dangerous situation in the region," Hessameddin Ashena wrote on the social media
app Telegram. "Whoever put his foot beyond the red line should be ready to face
its consequences." Iranian state television later in a commentary called Trump's
order to kill Soleimani "the biggest miscalculation by the U.S." in the years
since World War II. "The people of the region will no longer allow Americans to
stay," the TV said.
