The lawsuit against al-Kadhimi is in his capacity as a former head of the intelligence service on charges of negligence and dereliction, and the resulting assassination of Soleimani, al-Muhandis, and their companions.

On January 3, 2020, the US carried out a drone strike near Baghdad International Airport authorized by then-US President Donald Trump targeting a car carrying the commander of Al-Quds Force of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC), General Qassem Soleimani, and the second-in-command of Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces, Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis.

Last year, Baghdad provided Tehran with documents that were required by the Iranian side regarding the assassination of Soleimani. The committee concerned with the investigation vowed at the time to pursue and punish all those involved in the crime.
