Tehran (IP) - Commander of the Iranian Army's Ground Forces said that Lt. Gen. Qasem Soleimani played a pivotal role and was the flag bearer of the destruction of ISIS in the region and even in the world.

Iran Press/Iran News: Brigadier General Kioumars Heydari stated that Lieutenant General Qasem Soleimani, the late Commander of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps, was an irreplaceable figure in the history of the fight against infidelity, who was able to bring the enemies to the brink of death and annihilation, both during his lifetime and with his martyrdom.

Heydari noted that although others were in the fight against ISIS, Lt. Gen. Soleimani played a pivotal role and was exclusively the flag bearer of the annihilation of ISIS in the region and the world.

Lt. Gen. Qasem Soleimani, the then-Commander of the IRGC's Quds Force, and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, Deputy Commander of the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces (Al-Hashd al-Sha'abi), along with eight others, were assassinated on January 3, 2020, in an airstrike by US forces and terrorists near Baghdad airport in Iraq.
