Mourners packed the streets of Tehran early on Monday for ceremonies to pay homage to top Iranian military commander Qasem Soleimani, after he was killed in a US strike in Baghdad

Mourners packed the streets of Tehran early on Monday for ceremonies to pay homage to top Iranian military commanderClutching portraits of their hero in their hands, the crowd gathered on the outskirts of Tehran University where the supreme leader is to preside over prayers for the slain general.

A woman carries a picture of slain Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps General and commander of the Quds Force Qasem Soleimani during a rally in Beirut, Lebanon.The twin threats came as Iran announced it was further reducing compliance with a tattered international nuclear accord, ending limitations on numbers of centrifuges used to enrich uranium.

Mr Trump ordered a US drone to fire a missile at Soleimani, one of the most influential people in Iran's government, when he was near the Iraqi capital's international airport.Angry, black-clad mourners thronged the streets of Iran's second city Mashhad to pay last respects to the remains of Soleimani and chant"death to America”.

"If they do anything there will be major retaliation," the president told reporters on Air Force One, as he flew back to Washington - and a looming Senate impeachment trial - from vacation in Florida.Mr Trump had already threatened to bomb 52 unspecified targets in Iran if Tehran attacks US troops and interests in the region.
