Iran's President Ebrahim Raisi vowed revenge for the assassination of Iranian general Qasem Soleimani two years ago unless former US President Donald Trump is put on trial.
"If Trump and [former Secretary of State Mike] Pompeo are not tried in a fair court for the criminal act of assassinating General Soleimani, Muslims will take our martyr's revenge," Raisi said in a televised speech on Monday.
Soleimani was killed in Iraq in a drone strike ordered by then-president Trump.
