Predictably, the United States' allies have been lining up to congratulate the US on its operation.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson called Baghdadi's death "an important moment".
Meanwhile the French Defence Minister said Baghdadi had been handed an "early retirement".
Translation: "Baghdadi: early retirement for a terrorist, but not for his organisation. I congratulate our American allies with this operation. My thoughts thoughts today are for all the victims of the madness of Bagdhadi and the criminals who have followed him."
However Mohammad Javad Azari-Jahromi, Iran's information minister, sounded unimpressed.
"Not a big deal, You just killed your creature," he tweeted, accusing the US of being responsible for Baghdadi's rise.
