I’m mocked for pitying Koalas burned to death in bush fires, yet Iranians are weeping for a general they’d never heard of until he got a rocketing.

Soleimani was a very prominent general who led extensive defensive campaigns against Hussein and ISIS, and countered the influence of Al-Qaeda, too despite his moral failings (i.e. siege of Aleppo). The real question is, where's the public outcry for the hundreds of millions of animals killed in farms yesterday?
