Iraqi mourners shout 'Death to America' and 'No No Israel'
Trump shows no sign of trying to reduce tensions
Iranian general refers to 35 US retaliatory targets
Democrats criticise Trump; one accuses him of war crime
Baghdad/Washington | US President Donald Trump on Sunday (AEDT) threatened to hit 52 Iranian sites "very hard" if Iran attacks Americans or US assets after a drone strike that killed Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani and an Iraqi militia leader, as tens of thousands of people marched in Iraq to mourn their deaths.
Showing no signs of seeking to ease tensions raised by the strike he ordered that killed Soleimani and Iranian-backed Iraqi militia leader Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis at Baghdad airport on Friday, Trump issued a threat to Iran on Twitter. The strike has raised the spectre of wider conflict in the Middle East.
