Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah (the Secretary General of Hezbollah), Sayyid Abdul-Malik Badreddin al-Houthi (the leader of Ansar Allah in Yemen), and the presidents of Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, and Turkey were among other non-Iranian political figures who condemned the assassination of Soleimani. Moreover, prime ministers of many foreign countries expressed their sympathy with Iran and condemned America’s crime. Agnès Callamard, the Special Rapporteur at the office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), anounced the assassination of Qasem Soleimani and Abu Mahdi al-Mohandes to be illegal and a violation of international law. Ervand Abrahamian, the American historian, also stated that Iranians used to regard the US as a conspiring government against them but from now on they will consider it a terrorist government. Michael Moore, the American film-maker, also objected to the assassination and implied that the American Government was warmonger. | [[Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah]] (the Secretary General of Hezbollah), [[Sayyid Abdul-Malik Badreddin al-Houthi]] (the leader of Ansar Allah in Yemen), and the presidents of [[Syria]], [[Lebanon]], [[Iraq]], and [[Turkey]] were among other non-Iranian political figures who condemned the assassination of Soleimani.
