Qassem Suleimani
Qassem Suleimani was a major general in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran and commander of its Quds Force, responsible for extraterritorial military and clandestine operations. He played a crucial role in shaping Iran's foreign policy in the Middle East, particularly in supporting militant groups in Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon. Suleimani gained significant notoriety for his strategic planning and operations against U.S. forces in the region, making him a key figure in Iran's efforts to expand its influence. His assassination by a U.S. drone strike in January 2020 marked a significant escalation in U.S.-Iran tensions.
