President Trump said, “We are doing very well with Iran and this is not the time to show weakness. Americans overwhelmingly support our attack on terrorist Soleimani”.
Khamenei and President Hassan Rouhani had called for a mass turnout to mark the anniversary of the revolution and condemn the "hostile" moves of the US against Iran.
Zarif also claimed that General Soleimani was the single biggest threat to ISIS and his killing was now being celebrated by the terror group and US President Donald Trump.
His comments come days after the US House of Representatives last week passed a resolution limiting President Donald Trump’s power to carry out military action against Iran.
Last Friday, President Trump had ordered the death of Gen Qasem Soleimani, following which Iran had launched over a dozen ballistic missiles at two military bases housing US troops in Iraq.
The strikes are said to be in retaliation for a US drone strike that killed top Iranian general Qasem Soleimani and Iraqi commander Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis last week.
Netanyahu has described the commander of the Islamic republic’s Quds Force, General Qasem Soleimani as a 'terrorist-in-chief'.
Talking to reporters on the sidelines of a function, Iranian Ambassador to India Ali Chegeni said, "India is a part of the region...it should be a part of de-escalation."
Trump, however, called for harsher sanctions against Iran but made no mention of possible retaliation to Tuesday's missile attacks.
