Czech foreign minister comments on Soleimani's killing

The killing of Iranian Major-General Qassem Soleimani, head of the elite Quds Force, was an extraordinary step in a complicated situation, Czech Foreign Minister Tomas Petricek told journalists today. The situation in the Middle East was further complicated and successes in the fight against international terrorism are threatened, Petricek said. "I consider the U.S. air attacks in Iraq an extraordinary step in a complicated situation. Courts should decide on guilt of people, but I am no expert in military tactics," he added.
