before we get to the events today, just remind us, qasem soleimani, who was he and why is his grave anite? >> he was the leader of the military wing of iran's semi-military forces and responsible for a whole host of attacks over many years including, we should note, the u.s. military blamed him for attacks on u.s. service members, hundreds of them in iraq providing insurgent with armor piercing ieds. so not a friend to the united states by any means, and it was president donald trump who ordered a u.s. drone strike that killed him this on today's date, in fact, three years ago. at the time, quite a bold move by the u.s. to strike him. iran promised retaliation, never quite saw the retaliation to the degree that some expected. so highly revered, highly powerful in iran, and the victim of a u.s. strike three years ago. so today, they are celebrating or marking the anniversary of his death, quite a lot of crowds there because he is revered in iran and now iranian authorities are calling this a terror attack. it's important to note that there was some speculation early on, could this, in l
