The daughter of slain Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani on Monday reportedly warned the United States of the "dark day" she said his death would bring.

"The families of the American soldiers," she said, according to NPR, "will spend their days waiting for the death of their children."

"Crazy Trump, don't think that everything is over with my father's martyrdom," she added.

Legal Definition of jus cogens
: a principle of international law that is based on values taken to be fundamental to the international community and that cannot be set aside (as by treaty)
it is doubtful that any state has ever violated jus cogens norms on a scale rivaling that of the Third Reich
