It occurred as tens of thousands of mourners accompanied Soleimani's casket 

Iranian MPs opened Parliament on Sunday with lawmakers chanting in unison: 'death to America' as politicians in Iraq urged the government to oust thousands of US troops.

Parliament speaker Ali Larijani compared Soleimani's killing to the 1953 CIA-backed coup that cemented the shah's power and to the U.S. Navy's shootdown of an Iranian passenger plane in 1988 that killed 290 people.

He also described American officials as following 'the law of the jungle.'

'Mr. Trump! This is the voice of Iranian nation. Listen!' Larijani said as lawmakers chanted.
