Strategic thought of Gen. Soleimani foils US plots in region

Tehran, IRNA – General Qasem Soleimani is an extra-national figure whose strategic attitudes foiled US plots in the Middle East, a senior lawmaker at Iran's Majlis (Parliament) has said.

Nezameddin Mousavi, the spokesman of Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, made the remarks in an interview with IRNA.

A person with such characteristics has not been seen in the region in recent decades, Mousavi said.

General Soleimani's thoughts should be taught at universities worldwide, he added.

As he underlined, General Soleimani's lifestyle is a big lesson for freedom-seekers across the world.

The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Qods Force commander Lieutenant General Soleimani and Abu Mahdi al-Mohandes, the acting commander of the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Units (PMU) - known as the Hashd al-Shaabi - were assassinated in Baghdad by US attack on January 3, 2020.

Soon after the assassination, the IRGC carried out an operation and targeted the US airbase of Ain al-Assad in Anbar Province in western Iraq in response to the US terrorist attack.

In November 2017, General Soleimani, in a letter to Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, announced the termination of the corrupt tree of Daesh (ISIS) and congratulated the glorious victory to the Islamic World.
