Watch: CNN praising Qassem Soleimani in this old video

America’s Cable News Network (CNN) sang the praises Iranian military commander Lt. Gen Qassem Soleimani four years ago for being the driving force defeating the militant Islamic State group.

The old video has resurfaced and is doing the rounds on the internet, with users questioning the CNN’s reporting after the killing of Soleimani in a US drone attack.

Iran launched retaliatory attack against the US on Wednesday when it fired dozens of missile into Iraq targeting military bases hosting American troops.

The CNN video is given below but the Twitter account that shared it doesn’t belong to Hollywood veteran Robert De Niro. It is a parody account run by a fan of the he ‘Taxi Driver’ actor.

Have a look at the video to see what the top American media house reported on Qassem Soleimani’s role against one of the most dreaded terrorists outfits.
