Qassem Soleimani
Qassem Soleimani was a prominent Iranian military commander and head of the Quds Force, a division of the IRGC responsible for extraterritorial operations. He played a crucial role in Iran's military strategy in the Middle East and was instrumental in supporting various militant groups. Soleimani became widely known for his leadership during conflicts in Iraq and Syria until his assassination in a U.S. drone strike in January 2020, which has continued to evoke strong sentiments and discussions about his impact on regional resistance movements.
