Major General Qassem Soleimani, whose assassination by the US was confirmed earlier on Friday, had played a major role in defending Iran against its enemies and assisting regional countries fight foreign occupation and terrorism.
Soleimani, born in 1957, started his military career by joining the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) following the victory of the Islamic revolution in 1979.
During the imposed Iraqi war on Iran, which was launched in 1980 and lasted for eight years, Soleimani gradually became known as an adept commander, leading Iranian troops in numerous battles against invading Ba’ath regime forces.

Later appointed as the chief of the IRGC’s expeditionary Quds Force, Soleimani gradually became a forefront figure in Iran’s push to assist regional states and allies counter foreign-backed interventions in the region.
As foreign-backed Takfiri outfits reared their heads in recent years, the IRGC commander emerged as a key strategist and ingenious commander leading Iranian military advisers assisting Syrian and Iraqi troops in battles against terrorists.
The general was frequently pictured on the frontlines during anti-terrorism operations from Iraq’s Mosul to Syria’s Aleppo.
In Iraq, at the height of Daesh’s terror campaign, he assisted the Baghdad government in operations to retake the strategic oil-rich city of Tikrit from Daesh in 2015.

In January 2015, the head of Iraq’s Badr Organization credited Tehran and Soleimani with saving Baghdad when Daesh first unleashed its campaign of terror in the neighboring country a year earlier.
The general also took personal command of the battle against Takfiri militants in the Syrian city of Bukamal, located in Dayr al-Zawr Province, in November 2017.
In November 2017, Soleimani declared the end of Daesh’s territorial rule in a letter addressed to Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.
Earlier this year, the Leader awarded Soleimani with Iran’s highest military order, the Order of Zulfaqar.
Hailed both by the enemies and foes as a major military tactician, General Soleimani topped Foreign Policy (FP)’s 2019 list of Global Thinkers in defense and security.
Several reports emerged about assassination plots against the commander by the US, Israel and Saudi Arabia– which are believed to be among the major supporters of Takfiri terrorists wreaking havoc on the Middle East
On Thursday, however, the Trump administration openly claimed responsibility for assassinating Soleimani.
In a statement on Friday, Iran’s leader vowed “harsh revenge” for the perpetrators of the attack
The Leader also offered condolences to the Iranian nation and General Soleimani’s family, and declared three days of national mourning.
Americas duplicity is showing
Saddham Hussein was put into power and funded and armed by the UK and USA
Israel was worried that iran was too powerful, so the USA told Saddham
you fight a war to weaken iran and you can have kuwait back
Which was previously annexed by the british
Saddham did as asked and fought an 8 year war with iran, when he moved into Kuwait the americans turned on him, the americans bombed schools ambulances and hospitals and even bombed and strafed refugee columns trying to leave.
No one trusts the USA after its enforced rendition e g kidnapping innocents off the street for the torture programme and its only freind in the world the UK is already saying no to involvement in another war for israel
the USA has done a foolish thing here
This was loser Trump’s big moment, he killed an Iranian, look at him such a big man.
It was assassination by drone (100% illegal and immoral)
It was cowardly (something that sleazebag business man trump is known for)
It was illegal since no war has been declared (Congress has not declared war thus all of these acts inside Iraq are unconstitutional)
It was a war crime because the United States has no right to be occupying an part of Iraq. Iraq has told Amerika to leave numerous times but the Yankee bully refuses to leave because itself is Zionist occupied.
No if you think pussy Trump is a loon , just look at his base, euphoric and energized. The giant pussy draft dodging Iran war hawks rejoice, hosannahs POTUS just proved his manhood,
“To the Iranian government: If you want to stay in the oil business leave America and our allies alone and stop being the largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world,” tweeted Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), a longtime supporter of regime change in Iran.
“Republican Sens. Marco Rubio (Fla.), Tom Cotton (Ark.), Jim Risch (R.-Idaho), and Ben Sasse (Neb.) joined the chorus of applause, hailing Trump for taking “decisive action.” ”
Not a one every spent one day in uniform or on the front lines.
This is exactly what the US and Jews want.
They potray the assasination as killing a terrorist and just, helping the west defeat the enemy (when they actually created the real enemies to the west, be it as a proxy army like AlQaeda or ISIS, or those who fought back against them like the Taliban, Revolutionary Guards etc)
Should Iran target a high ranking US or Israeli political or military target, then it will we shown to the world as an act of terrorism, hence an act of war, an outraged western public would be happy to back a colation to go fight this new terrorist regime who is hell bent on destroying the west allegedly…
If Iran does nothing, it will ferment discourse at home through those who see the leaders as cowards, weak, letting the west get away with their crimes, how long before their own people turn on them when the leaders continue to allow the US and Jews to act with impunity and never react for fear of a wider conflict?
Either way the US and Jews win in their books…
Unless Iran leads a coalition of Russia, China, Pakistan, North Korea, Venesuela etc and defeats the US military on their own soil…
They say everyone has a double. General Soleimani had Sean Connery, Donald Trump a shaved Orangutan in a suit. Boris Johnson a overstuffed sofa burst at the seams with the stuffing sticking out, Netyenahu the Devil Incarnate. Now Amerika and Is-ra-hell has moved their chess pieces what now? The price of oil will go up, revenge attacks on the west, the UK MSM calling for war? The BBC (Buggering British Children), will get Kate Addie out of retirement to report on the bad Arabs and Iranisns. This will be messy. Christians and Muslims dying for the chosen ones. In 1923 during German Hyperinflation the chosen ones were buying up real estate as well as jewels, fur coats etc at under 10% of the value so ordinary folk could eat. You reap what you sow in life. I wonder what the harvest for us all will be this time around?
“Americans” are brain dead jew-bots, nattanyahoomight as well move in the white whore house.
Both Abu Mahdi Mohandes and Qasem Suleimani fought alongside each other against Saddam’s Ba’th party. Abu Mahdi Mohandes is an Iraqi Arab who fought Saddam for years. He could speak fluent Farsi, something that daughters of the son of the late Shah of Iran that live in US can’t, they speak English at home and they still think Reza Pahlavi can one day become king/shah again!
US pushed Saddam to attack Iran, back then US and everyone else was behind Saddam, they sold him everything from Russia or US, Germany gave them chemicals for nerve gas, Arab countries gave him money, US gave him Satellite Intel. They wanted to nip Iran’s revolution in the bud! Abu Mehdi Mohandes was not a lone case, many Shiite Iraqis were killed and tortured for not following Saddam’s orders. An Iraqi pilot was tortured and killed for missing his bombs on purpose! Saddam ordered attacks on civilian areas in Tehran and other cities, used chemical weapons in battle and against Kurds that were pro Iran. But Khomeini disallowed attacks on Iraqi civilians. These are hard solid facts. So it may seem like a miracle that an Arab country like Iraq would be a friend of Persian Iran after 8 years of war that is actually happened not too long ago! But the miracle happens, same Qasem Suleimani that fought Saddam, becomes a hero in Iraq. Iran has ties to the region that bind people culturally and religiously and even more… in fact the Capital of Sassanian empire was in Ctesiphon in Iraq; how else can we explain this Miracle? US can’t understand this and still thinks it can artificially win hearts and minds of the people of the region.
Qasem Suleimani is the reason, ISIS is defeated, Assad and Syria saved, Iraq not divided and saved, the New Middle East map of Condi Rice during Obama not materialized, Zionists surrounded, Iran reach Mediterranean sea, Hoothis of Yemen defeat Saudis, etc… in short Qasem Suleimani is the reason US wasted 7 trillion $ (12 zeros) in the region, all of this money sucked out of American tax payer for Zionists.
When ISIS was on rampage quickly spreading like plague, Qasem Suleimani led the real fight against them, for the first 3 years, it was only Iran and Syria, the rest of the world was convinced Assad is finished. Even Russians thought so and to ensure they don’t loose their strategic port in Syria they approached FSA. US, Israel and even Turkey however helped ISIS in various ways, they used air power to the benefit of ISIS; so Qasem Suleimani visited Moscow and convinced Russian generals that they should enter conflict with Air power only to help secure their interests in Syria, seeing solid presentation, strategic and tactical skills of the general and his solid results on the ground, they accepted and finally entered war after 3 years. The beast that US, Zionists and Saudis had conjured up was to create a devastating Suni-Shia war that would go on for 20 years destroying everything in the interest of Zionists. Qasem Suleimani made sure it lasted only 6 years! defeat of ISIS is no ordinary task. Both Russians and Americans have the Afghanistan experience with Taliban. ISIS is 100 times worse than Taliban. Not only they had no fear they had abundant superpower support! I am not sure if you can imagine a scarier thing than ISIS they have done every evil form killing and torture ever done in history combined by themselves, beheading was really their blessing. They let dogs eat a woman alive! I just can’t go on…. you know all of it. Iraqi army that was trained and equipped by US could not stand 1 day against ISIS, many deserted their posts, that”s how scary ISIS was, and US helped them in advertising their brutality, this would server two purpose, ruin Islam’s image and help to scare the people to evacuate their cities. By Killing Qasem Sueilmani US took revenge of for ISIS!
Trump said us spent 7 Trillion (12 zeros) in the region, that’s money just for CENTCOM; Pompeo lied and said Iran spent 16 billion (9 zeros) since 2013 in Syria. Results are clear… a four star decorated general Joseph Votel head of CENTCOM with that money versus a two star general Qasem Suleimani who is a Iran-Iraq war veteran. No wonder on 28 March 2019 Gen Votel was dismissed! If you calculate based on what Trump and Pompeo said and assume fixed populations of 300 million and 80 million for US and Iran respectively…. US spent ~23000$ per each American citizen in the Middle East while Iran spent 200$ per each Iranian. Assuming Pompeo was correct, still this is a very efficient victory! Khomeini the father of the resistance, created the forces that do not rely on MONEY to fight. No one can fight the superpower with money, they have more and can create it out of thin air too. You defeat the superpower with courage, creativity and advanced technology that is efficient and cheap.
US could pay 23000$ to each of 45 million American poor and homeless and still have about 5.9 Trillion to fix Flint water and do many other amazing things! Had US offered that money as Charity to the poor nations, it would have had much more power in the world today! Had US burned that money, perhaps Iran would still be inside its borders!
If Iran takes no action to avenge the generals death it will be seen as weak in the eyes of the Arab world.My guess is this could trigger Iran into doing something big like firing a misile into an oil tanker or even an aircraft carrier somewhere as a show of defiance and revenge which would predictably escalate into all out war, which the Zionists wants.The trigger has been pulled unfortunately 2020 will be all out war with Iran for sure and rocketing oil prices bet on this.
To all Trump believers this act of utter inhumanity towards a fellow human being must finally be the nail in coffin of all hopes of Trump being on our side, he is a dispicable Zionist puppet and traitor to all America and what it stands for.He is in the Askenazis pocket for sure. God save America your president will not.To those American soldiers prepared to fight another war against innocent Arabs for greater Izrael think again while the Jews at home round your woman and children up in FEMA concentration camps.For once be men of valour and courage rise up against the true enemy that has captured your government and start making the world a better place and not a better place for Nazi Izrael.For your childrens sake dammit…911 remember those who perished did they die in vain.True power are in your hands make a difference now or it will be too late.
Solution is this, defy your superiors they are all controlled puppets of the Zionists imbedded in your government.Identify these puppet masters in government and send them to Israel.They do not belong in America nor in its highest office of millitary,politics,justice nor banking. Break all ties with Izrael.Elect an christian values president with no ties to the Zionists occupiers currently in control of the USA.Your own constitution demands this from you right now.U are well trained and well equiped do it now.You will not, will NOT get a second chance ever again.This is the moment for action and you have just cause towards it right now.POTUS has exposed himself for the utter traitor he is you deserve better.Good luck.
Well said jerry.. Apparently the rabid saudis are, hypocritically, calling for calm..
CNN has one loser liar on one after the other. The Jewish owned network, indeed, all the major media outlets are Jewish owned, are repeating the outrageous lie Soleimani was a terrorist – LOL. The U.S. has been steered into a virtually inevitable war on Iran, which is what Israel desires of course. As long as Israel pulls the strings on U.S. foreign policy and almost all western countries, there will be no end to wars and rumors of war. It’s the build-up to a manufactured war, just like the western allies did to Germany eighty years ago.
Some fabulous analysis/comments in the previous posts. I’ve nothing to add other than to ask: How will Russia respond? What about a United Nations response? Why hasn’t the international community condemned this assassination? When will the psychopathic Sabattean Frankist Satanist Zionists be properly exposed, arrested and imprisoned?
How Zionism works
Pretend that Zionism is simply about establishing a homeland for the Jews that will serve as a sanctuary where they may live peacefully out of the reach of “anti-Semites”
Start a world war
Claim that there are six million dead or dying Jews
If the hoax doesn’t work at the first attempt, start another world war and exploit the ensuing chaos from the first to take control of Russia; settle old scores with the Rus for driving you out of Khazaria
Claim to be “God’s Chosen People”, and trick the world’s nations into letting you seize another people’s land on a false prospectus
Dispossess the indigenous population of their homes and land, and be sure to treat them with such contempt that they resist the occupation with random acts of terror
Ensure that any peace talks fail by continuing to oppress the dispossessed and setting impossible conditions; blame it on your opponents’ intransigence
Develop nuclear weapons for your very own sovereign state
Kill any U.S. president who opposes your plans to become a nuclear power; blame it on a “lone assassin”
Get the U.S. to provide you with conventional arms and billions of dollars of “foreign aid” annually
Have some sayanim phony up “hate crimes” against themselves in the rest of the world
Recruit brainwashed Jews into your foreign intelligence agency; convince them that they must steal passports, carry out assassinations and stage false-flag terrorism in order to “save Jews” worldwide from the “anti-Semites”
Strengthen your ability to use nuclear blackmail as a bargaining chip by obtaining submarines capable of firing nuclear-tipped cruise missiles with a 900-mile range
Exploit your false-flag terrorism attacks for all they are worth: have your agents go on TV within hours to peddle the official narrative; whip up sufficient outrage, e.g. by ensuring the collapse of several skyscrapers, that your “allies” will sacrifice thousands of their troops and waste vast sums fighting your enemies in order to convert them into Rothschildian ‘democracies’, at no cost to you
Carry on until there is a Rothschild central bank in every nation
