Qāsem Soleimānī (Persian: قاسم سلیمانی) (b. 1957 - d. 2020), known as Hāj Qāsem and Martyr Soleimānī, was the former commander of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). He was assassinated by American forces in Baghdad on January 3, 2020, along with Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the deputy of the Iraqi Popular Mobilization.

During the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988), he was the commander of the 41st army of Tharallah Kerman Division and participated as one of the commanders in the Wal-Fajr Eight, Karbala Four, and Karbala Five operations. Soleimani was appointed by Sayyid Ali Khamenei, the leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, in 1997 as the commander of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which is the overseas division of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in Iran.

After the emergence of ISIS in Iraq and Syria, Soleimani played a significant role in fighting this terrorist group. Eliminating the ISIS threat from Samarra, Najaf, and Karbala is one of his key achievements in the fight against ISIS.

The funeral ceremony for Soleimani and his companions was held in various cities across Iraq and Iran. Prominent figures like Bashir Husayn al-Najafi in Najaf and Sayyid Ali Khamenei in Tehran led prayers over their bodies. Reports indicate that it was one of the largest funerals in history, drawing around 25 million participants. Soleimani was laid to rest on January 18th in Kerman Martyrs' Cemetery. After his martyrdom in 2020, Soleimani was promoted to Lieutenant-General.

Life

Qasim Soleimani was born on March 11, 1957, in the village of Qanat Malik in Rabor, a small tawn in Kerman province, in Soleimani tribe.[1] At 18, he began working for the Kerman Water and Wastewater Company.[2] He later described himself as one of the organizers of marches and strikes in Kerman, actively opposing the Pahlavi regime during the Islamic Revolution.[3] He married during the Iran-Iraq War[4] and had six children.[5] In 2019, Qasem Soleimani became the custodian of Imam Reda's shrine by the order of Sayyid Ebrahim Raisi, who was in charge of Astan Quds Razavi.[6] After his martyrdom, he became known as the 'Chief of Hearts,' and many advertising materials were created and published in this regard.[7] Additionally, his images and related content are included in textbooks at various educational levels in Iran.[8]

Characteristics

Sincerity, courage, a quest for martyrdom, devotion to Ahl al-Bayt (a) and Wilayat al-Faqih, worship and spirituality, military ingenuity, discipline, and a strong sense of community are among the characteristics of Qasem Soleimani.[9] Ayatollah Khamenei has described him as an international symbol of resistance, educated in Islam and the teachings of Imam Khomeini.[10]

During Iraq's War against Iran

After the Islamic Revolution of Iran, Qasem Soleimani joined the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in 1980 and became a member of the training unit and instructor of the Quds Training Barracks of the Kerman Guard.[11] In 1981, under the command of Mohsen Rezaei, Soleimani became the commander of the 41st Tharullah Division in Kerman.[12] He played a significant role in several key operations during the Iran-Iraq War, including Wal-Fajr 8, Karbala 4, and Karbala 5.[13] He was wounded twice during the conflict, with one of his injuries being severe.[14]

After the Iran-Iraq War ended in 1988, Soleimani briefly became the commander of the Haft Sahib al-Zaman Corps.[15] He then returned to command the 41st Tharullah Division. Before his appointment as the commander of the Quds Corps, he actively fought against drug trafficking gangs along the borders of Iran and Afghanistan.[16]

Qasem Soleimani was appointed commander of the Quds Force in 1998 by Ayatollah Khamenei.[17] The Quds Force is the overseas operations unit of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which was established in 1989. Soleimani led the Quds Force until his death in 2020, after which Ismail Qa'ani took over command.[18]

Combatting the Taliban and Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan

Qasem Soleimani's appointment as the commander of the Quds Force coincided with a peak period of Taliban activity in Afghanistan.[19] He was known to cooperate with various Mujahideen factions, including Ahmad Shah Massoud.[20] Reports from some Mujahideen indicate that he actively engaged in combat against both the Taliban and Al-Qaeda.[21] Videos are documenting his presence in the Panjshir Valley, where he met with Massoud during the Mujahideen's struggle against the Taliban.[22]

According to the Afghan militants, Qasem Soleimani's presence in Afghanistan was viewed positively due to his friendly personality, which helped him gain the trust of various factions. He was recognized for his ability to facilitate dialogue and create opportunities for ceasefires and cooperation among different forces.[23]

Combatting the Israeli regime in Lebanon and Palestine

During Israel's invasion of Lebanon in the 33-day war in 2006, Qasem Soleimani was reported to be present in the southern suburbs of Beirut and in the central command room of Hezbollah's operations. [24]

According to a leader of the Hamas movement, Qasem Soleimani had a deep relationship with Hamas and provided significant support to the Palestinian resistance.[25] His assistance reportedly included supplying advanced weapons to Hamas.[26] The underground tunnels used to confront Israel were part of operational plans developed by Imad Mughniyeh and Soleimani, highlighting their collaboration in military strategies against Israel.[27]

Combatting the ISIS in Iraq

Soleimani was a prominent commander in the battle against ISIS in Iraq[28] and Syria.[29] ISIS was an extremist group, which appeared after the fall of Saddam Husein and in the absence of a powerful rule in Iraq.[30]

In 2014, as ISIS captured the city of Mosul and Baghdad faced imminent threats, Qasem Soleimani met with Sayyid Ali Sistani, a prominent religious authority in Iraq. Following their meeting, Ayatollah Sistani issued a fatwa calling for jihad against ISIS, which mobilized many Iraqis to join the fight against the terrorist groups.[31]

Along with Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, Soleimani played a crucial role in organizing part of the al-Hashd al-Sha'bi forces for the campaign to expel ISIS from Iraq. Haider al-Abadi, the Prime Minister of Iraq at the time, recognized Soleimani as one of Iraq's key allies in the fight against ISIS, highlighting his significant influence and involvement in the military efforts.[32]

In many operations against ISIS, including the liberation of the city of Amerli in Salah al-Din province,[33] the recapture of Tikrit,[34] preventing ISIS from infiltrating the city of Erbil in northern Iraq,[35] and the fight against ISIS in Samarra,[36] Soleimani advised the Popular Mobilization Forces, the Iraqi Army, and the Iraqi Kurdistan Regional Government forces.

Combating Takfiri Groups in Syria

Qasem Soleimani organized the Syrian National Defense Forces to combat ISIS and Takfiri groups in Syria.[37] In 2011, the forces under Qasem Soleimani's command, including the Fatimiyyun Division and the Zaynabiyyun Brigade, went to Syria to combat ISIS and other extremist groups.[38] His significant achievements in the Syrian war include the liberation of Boukamal,[39] the historical city of Tadmur (Palmyra) southeast of Homs,[40] and the city of Al-Qusayr.[41]

Declaring the End of ISIS

On November 21, 2017, Qasem Soleimani wrote a letter to Ayatollah Khamenei announcing the end of ISIS's rule.[42] In addition, Soleimani promised on September 30, 2016, that he would announce the end of ISIS rule on earth in less than three months.[43] In his response, Ayatollah Khamenei praised Soleimani's efforts, stating, "By eradicating the tumor of ISIS, not only did you perform a great service to the countries in the region and the Muslim world, but also to humanity".

Reconstruction of Atabat al-Muqaddasa and Procession of Arba'in

The Headquarters for the Reconstruction of al-Atabat al-Muqaddasa was established with the direct support of the IRGC Quds Force, under the command of Qasem Soleimani, who also appointed the person in charge of it.[44] He also played a significant role in ensuring the security of Arbain pilgrims, as well as providing logistical support and comfort facilities for them.[45] His efforts contributed to the removal of the Iraqi visa requirement for Iranian Arbain pilgrims.[46]

In February 2010, Soleimani was promoted to the rank of major general by Sayyid Ali Khamenei, the commander-in-chief of Iran's military forces.[47] Additionally, on March 19, 2017, Khamenei awarded Soleimani the Zulfiqar Order of Merit[48] which is bestowed upon high-ranking military commanders whose leadership leads to significant results or victories.[49] After the Islamic Revolution in 1979, Soleimani was the first commander to receive this insignia.[50] After his martyrdom in 2020, he was promoted to Lieutenant-General.[51]

In 2019, Qasem Soleimani was named one of the top ten thinkers in defense and security in the special issue of the American magazine Foreign Policy, which annually highlights the world's top 100 thinkers.[52] According to one of the commanders of the American army, General Soleimani was a calculating and operational strategist who strengthened stable relations and Iran's position in the region, successfully uniting and empowering Shia groups.[53]

Assassination and Martyrdom

Qasem Soleimani was assassinated on Jumada I 7, 1441/January 3, 2020, together with Abu Mahdi al-Muhandes, deputy chief of the Popular Mobilization Forces of Iraq, as well as some others, by the American forces near Baghdad airport in their car.[54] The U.S. Department of Defense issued a statement confirming that the attack was carried out under the orders of Donald Trump, the President of the United States at the time.[55]

Reactions to his Assassination

Soleimani's assassination led to waves of protest in different countries worldwide, and many mourning ceremonies were held for him in various cities in Iran and other countries. Many political and religious figures reacted to his assassination. In his statement on Soleimani's martyrdom, Ayatollah Khamenei called him an international figure of resistance and announced three days of national mourning in Iran. Other political and religious figures, including the heads of the three branches of the Iranian government and religious authorities in Iran and Iraq, praised Soleimani's bravery, sincerity, and self-sacrifice in their statements.[56].[57]

Sayyid Hasan Nasrallah, Sayyid Abd al-Malik al-Houthi (the leader of Ansar Allah in Yemen), and the presidents of Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Turkey[58] were among other non-Iranian political figures who condemned the assassination of Soleimani. Agnès Callamard, the Special Rapporteur at the office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), announced the assassination of Qasem Soleimani and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis to be illegal and a violation of international law.[59]

There were several unsuccessful attempts to assassinate Qasem Soleimani, the first occurring in 1981, when a doctor affiliated with the People's Mojahedin Khalq Organization made an assassination attempt.[60] At the beginning of October 2019, Husaynn Ta'ib, the head of the IRGC Intelligence Protection Organization, announced the arrest of individuals who planned to assassinate Qasem Soleimani in Kerman.[61]

Ratification of ousting the American forces from Iraq

Thus, the Iraqi parliament ratified on January 5, 2020, expelling of the Americans.[62] It is noteworthy that before that and after the Americans attacked the bases of the Popular Mobilization Forces, several people and groups had demanded the American forces be ousted. Ayatollah Sayyid Kazim al-Ha'iri also had issued a fatwa, declaring the prohibition of allowing the American forces to stay in Iraq.

Iran's Retaliatory Action

In the early hours of January 8, 2020, Iran's IRGC launched several ballistic missiles at Ain al-Asad, a major airbase used mainly by American forces and another American airbase in Erbil in retaliation for the assassination of Qasem Soleimani.[63] Iran repeatedly announced that the true form of revenge is the expulsion of the United States from the Middle East.

During his funeral ceremony in Tehran, Ismail Haniyeh, the head of Hamas's political office, highlighted Qasem Soleimani's efforts to liberate Palestine from Israeli occupation and referred to him as the 'Quds Martyr'.[70]

According to the spokesman of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, approximately 25 million people participated in Soleimani's funeral.[71] According to Russia Today Arabic, the gathering for Soleimani's burial ceremony was the second-largest such gathering after that for Imam Khomeini's burial ceremony.[72]

Soleimani's Will

According to the will read on the 40th day after Qasem Soleimani's martyrdom in Tehran by Ismail Qa'ani,[73] the commander of the Quds Force, it emphasized supporting Sayyid Ali Khamenei, paying attention to the children of martyrs, and respecting the Iranian armed forces.

In part of his will, he emphasized the importance of the Islamic Republic, describing it as the tent and shrine of Husayn b. Ali (a). He warned that if the enemy destroys this shrine, there will be no other shrine left, neither the Abrahamic shrine (Masjid al-Haram) nor the Muhammadan shrine (Masjid al-Nabi).[74]
