Qassim Soleimani
Qassim Soleimani was a major general in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of Iran and the commander of its Quds Force, responsible for extraterritorial military and clandestine operations. He played a pivotal role in Iran's influence across the Middle East, particularly in Iraq and Syria.
