The United States launched an airstrike in Iraq early Saturday morning, claiming six members of the pro-Iran group Hashd have been killed when the United States killed Iran's top general Qasim Sulaimani in a drone attack on Friday. The United States is sending more than 6,000 troops to the area at a time when war is brewing in the Middle East following the death of Iran's top general, Sulaimani.

Kurdish forces commander Major General Qasim Sulaimani was killed in a US airstrike in Baghdad on Friday. The United States has since increased the number of its troops in the Middle East.

However, Trump insisted he did not want war in the region. Iran's Ambassador to the United Nations Majid Takht Ravanchi said that the killing of Suleimani was akin to starting a war by the United States. The United States targeted members of the pro-Iraqi paramilitary force Hashd al-Shabi on a fresh road north of Baghdad early Saturday morning.

However, Hashd claimed that none of his top commanders were killed in the attack. Iraqi police sources said several people were killed in the attack. However, he did not give an exact figure. The US-led coalition, on the other hand, claimed that they had no hand in Saturday's attack.

The United States launched another airstrike in Baghdad just hours before the drone strike was scheduled to kick off for Qadim Sulaimani, the commander of Iranian Kurdish forces in Baghdad and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the deputy head of Iraq's paramilitary force. The attack is one of the most dramatic events between Iran and the United States in a highly tense situation.

Another attack was targeted by the Iraqi paramilitary force Hashd al-Shabbi's fleet in the aftermath of the drone strike. Sources said that two of Hassad al-Shabi's vehicles had caught fire. In the air raid, five people were burned alive in the vehicles. The attack took place at around 7:30 pm local time.

Earlier, US President Donald Trump had said that his country did not want to start a war with Iran, but if the Islamic country would take any response, America is ready to respond. This is the second attack in Baghdad amid Trump's statement.

Meanwhile, Kasim Suleimani, who was killed in a US attack, gave a historic final departure to Iran. On Saturday, hundreds of Solomon's troops marched through the streets of Baghdad, which had joined thousands.

The people involved in the funeral of the second most powerful leader after Ayatollah Khamenei, the supreme religious leader in Iran, wore black clothing and flags of Iraqi and Iranian-backed militias. Many of Iran's powerful leaders and talents were present in the procession. According to Iran's Maher News Agency, a procession of Sulaimani will also take place in Tehran on Sunday morning,

Meanwhile, Khamenei, the leader of the Islamic Revolution, will attend a prayer meeting. The report said that Suleimani's body would then be taken to his birthplace in the city of Karman for burial. The body of Qasim Sulaimani, the top commander of Iran, will arrive in Tehran after the extermination of the Iraqi capital Baghdad, Najaf and Karbala.

The United States is sending more troops to the Middle East

The clouds of war are waning in the world following the death of Iranian General Qasim Sulaimani. Iran says it will avenge the death of its commander from the United States. In view of the Iranian threat, the United States is sending more than 6,000 troops to the Middle East. Through them America is fortifying the Gulf countries.

According to sources, American defense officials say the four soldiers being sent to the Gulf States belong to the 8th Airborne Division and belong to Fort Bragg, North Carolina.

However, the Pentagon has not yet made any official announcement in this regard. The United States has already sent 6 troops to Kuwait, in addition to the 1,3 troops. The United States has already sent 5 troops to the Middle East by the end of May, before the appointment of 3 soldiers last week. The United States admitted in May that Iran was planning to attack American sites.

On the other side, Iran was fired by the Swiss ambassador, who is representing the United States in Iran.
