EXECUTED Iranian general Qasem Soleimani's body was laid across a row of four seats on a passenger jet as he received a hero's tour of Iran.

Bizarre video apparently showed the coffins of the feared Quds commander and pro-Iran militia chief Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis in the cabin on a Mahan Air flight to Tehran.

Video from on board show the coffins placed across rows of seats with people sitting around them watching what appears to be a tribute film.

The Airbus transported the corpses from Ahvaz, where a million lined the streets chanting "Death to America", to Iran's second city Mashhad.

There hundreds of thousands of mourners packed the procession route as the coffins passed, shouting for revenge against the US.

Soleimani's body was flown overnight to the capital Tehran where the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is due to pray over the coffin on national TV.

He will be buried on Tuesday in his home town Kerman at the conclusion of the huge state funeral - which is grander than when revolution leader Ayatollah Khomeini died in 1989.

Giant crowds lined streets and squares in Ahvaz and Mashhad as the general's flag-draped coffin was paraded along with the paramilitary boss who died with him in a Baghdad drone strike.

Each stage of the multi-city procession has been broadcast on state TV, included a eulogy that placed an $80million bounty on Donald Trump's head.

It came as Iran vowed to ramp up its nuclear program as it formally pulled out of the 2015 deal to stop the development of atomic weapons.

It said it will no longer abide by restrictions on uranium enrichment and research on building a bomb amid increasingly alarming threats violence and retaliation by Tehran and Washington.

Iran has threatened to attack the White House while branding Donald Trump a "terrorist in a suit" after he vowed to target 52 sites in the Islamic Republic.

The menacing message was delivered by Iranian politician Abolfazl Abutorabi, who labelled the US’s deadly strike on General Qasem Soleimani “a declaration of war”.

In response, Trump said America would strike back immediately and possibly "disproportionately" if they acted.

He tweeted: "These media posts will serve as notification to the United States Congress that should Iran strike any U.S. person or target, the United States will quickly and fully strike back and perhaps in a disproportionate manner."

NUKE DEAL SNUB

The lead up to Soleimani's killing is said to have began on in May 2018, when President Trump announced the United States' withdrawal from the international nuclear pact with Iran.

He said at the time: "This was a horrible, one-sided deal that should have never, ever been made

"It didn't bring calm, it didn't bring peace, and it never will."

The other countries involved in the deal - China, Russia, the Europeans and Iran - disagreed and stuck to it.

But sanctions put back in place by the US, that had been largely lifted as Iran's reward for signing up to the deal, increased tensions.

The Trump administration's policy of "maximum pressure" against Iranincluded crippling sanctions against its financial and oil sectors.

President Hassan Rouhani said last week that the US "economic war" against Iran had cost the country $200 billion.

Iran has lost nearly 90% of its oil exports and the banking sector is under stress. So it's announcement tonight that it will no longer keep up it end of the bargain comes as no surprise.

WW3 FEARS

Abutorabi said: “'We can attack the White House itself, we can respond to them on the American soil. We have the power, and God willing we will respond in an appropriate time.

“When someone declares war do you want to respond to the bullets with flowers? They will shoot you in the head.”

The comments came after Trump issued a stark warning to Iran threatening to hit dozens of targets in the Islamic Republic “very fast and very hard” if it retaliates for the targeted killing of Soleimani.

And Iranian state TV also announced there has been an $80million bounty put on Trump's head.

Trump tweeted that his administration had already targeted 52 Iranian sites, “some at a very high level & important to Iran & the Iranian culture.”

Trump later blasted: "The United States just spent Two Trillion Dollars on Military Equipment. We are the biggest and by far the BEST in the World!

"If Iran attacks an American Base, or any American, we will be sending some of that brand new beautiful equipment their way...and without hesitation!"

However, Iran's army chief said Washington lacked the guts to go to war with his forces.

"I doubt they have the courage to initiate", said Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi.
