Iranian President Hassan Rouhani promised Soleimani's family that Americans will 'feel the impact' of their 'criminal act... for years ahead,' the BBC reported.
Soleimani was the primary target of a U.S. drone attack early Friday that left 10 people dead. The unannounced strike—for which President Donald Trump did not seek congressional approval—drastically heightened tensions in the Middle East, as Iranian leaders have vowed retribution.
Some marchers carried images of Soleimani and Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as well as flags of the Popular Mobilization Forces , a coalition of Iraqi militias that was pivotal in the country's fight against the Islamic State. Last year, the International Institute for Strategic Studies dubbed al-Muhandis the"most powerful single actor" in that group.
