56% : Shiite clergy have long held an important role in Iran, one that only grew more powerful after the 1979 Islamic Revolution.52% : Soleimani, believed to be 77, served on the Assembly of Experts, an 88-seat panel overseeing the post of Iran's supreme leader.
42% : But later surveillance footage shared widely by Iranian media showed the shooter inside the bank, openly carrying a firearm and milling around briefly before he walked up to Soleimani and shot him.
37% : However, Soleimani is the most-senior cleric to be killed in recent years.
35% : Authorities offered no immediate motive for the attack in Babolsar in Iran's Mazandaran province, just north of the capital, Tehran.
35% : Discontent has increased in recent years, however, particularly amid waves of nationwide protests over economic, political and civil rights issues in Iran.
