Qasem Soleimani
Qasem Soleimani was a high-ranking Iranian military officer in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), known for his role as the commander of the Quds Force, which is responsible for extraterritorial operations. He played a significant role in Iran's foreign policy and military strategy in the Middle East, particularly in supporting militant groups in Syria, Iraq, and Lebanon. Soleimani was a controversial figure, often viewed as a key architect of Iran's influence in the region. His assassination by a U.S. drone strike in January 2020 escalated tensions between the U.S. and Iran, making him a polarizing figure in international relations.
