ISIS Only Beneficiary of General Soleimani’s Assassination: Zarif

A year ago today, #1 of extremist terrorists was cowardly assassinated by the terrorist-in-chief,” Zarif tweeted on Sunday in a clear allusion to US President Donald Trump who ordered the assassination of General Soleimani near Baghdad International Airport one year ago.

The Iranian top diplomat then referred to massive ceremonies held across the region to commemorate the first anniversary of General Soleimani’s demise, reminding that “the only beneficiary of his (the commander’s) murder is ISIS.”

“As our region solemnly commemorates his one year passing, a reminder that the only beneficiary of his murder is Daesh (ISIS), which has only increased its activity since,” he said.

General Soleimani, who commanded the Quds Force of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), was admired as the Middle East’s most influential and charismatic counterterrorism leader. He played a key role in helping Iraq and Syria defeat foreign-backed terrorists, chiefly Daesh, in late 2017.

The top commander was assassinated on January 3, 2020 in a drone strike outside Baghdad International Airport upon a direct order by US President Donald Trump.

IRGC Quds Force Dismisses Claim Israel Hits Iranian Forces in Syria

In an interview with Al Mayadeen TV, Brigadier General Mohammad Hejazi slammed as “fake claims” and false media propaganda many of the reports that the Zionist regime has launched attacks on Iranian forces in Syria.

He said the Israeli regime claims that Iranian forces are stationed in Syria, while Iran has never had any forces or unit stationed in Syria, since the Iranians have been involved in advisory missions in the Arab country.

A military advisor’s mission could be restricted to consultation and dialogue, but he may sometimes go to the field to carry out evaluation, the general explained.

“Iran’s presence in Syria has not involved the stationing of forces and units from the beginning. Our advisors have been present in the units and offered guides. But the (Israeli) claim that they have hit a base or garrison belonging to Iran is not true, because such thing does not exist (in Syria),” he added.

General Hejazi then noted that the Israeli regime is well aware that the martyrdom of any Iranian individual will draw a response from the Islamic Republic. “We will definitely respond, as responses have been given in the past.”

The commander then confirmed that the Zionist regime has attacked a truck that the Zionists claim has been carrying weapons, and has launched strikes on the Syrian Army base which it claims has been at Iran’s disposal.

A series of damages have been done to the Syrian Army and a number of facilities, but those actions have been responded appropriately, the IRGC general stressed.

Popular Figure, Military Strategist, Political Moderate: Gen. Soleimani

Ali Rabiei said the assassinated general has several unique features.

“First of all, he had the necessary skills and expertise in the jobs he was assigned to do,” he said.

“As described in social psychology, this feature is one of the key contributors to the [personality] growth and popularity of a person who remains committed to the task he is entrusted with and shines rather than using his position as a launch pad to take political leaps,” he said.

“Another factor is personal and moral traits,” he added.

Rabiei noted that Soleimani was a man with the common touch while being popular and powerful because he prioritized morality to the regular political dealings.

“The third feature that he had was a sense of sacrifice. Social conscience can clearly distinguish between honest and hypocritical actions, between defending the community and fighting for one’s own interests,” he added.

Rabiee said another factor is “social action.”
He explained that General Soleimani stood by people through social ups and downs and twists and turns.

He said General Soleimani was in the front line, from fighting the elements of the former Iraqi Ba’ath party and ISIS terrorists to fighting armed bandits and drug traffickers in eastern Iran to helping with relief operation in flood-stricken areas.
Moreover, he added, General Soleimani was an extraordinary military strategist.

“He had a deep understanding of the meaning of power, regional security, and symmetrical and asymmetrical war,” said Rabiei.

He said General Soleimani was also a political moderate who belonged to no specific political camp.

In a cabinet session on Sunday evening, chaired by President Hassan Rouhani, the ministers approved the bill aimed at protecting women against violence, strengthening the family bonds, and preserving the dignity of women.

The bill criminalizes any action causing physical or mental harm to women because of gender or a vulnerable position, harming their dignity, and restricting or depriving women of the legal rights and freedom.

According to the bill, the Judiciary will be tasked with setting up and sponsoring offices that provide support for the women who suffer some kind of violence or are susceptible to violence, safeguarding the rights and dignity of women in the legal courts, and holding training courses for the judges and prosecutors.

The bill also entails the establishment of a fund under the auspices of the Ministry of Justice for protecting victimized women. The fund would also provide support for the female inmates, cover their health costs, and finance training courses during their prison sentence.

The Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) is tasked under the bill with promoting media programs about preserving women’s dignity and protecting women against violence in the family or the society.

The bill also entails special educational plans at schools, promotion of social care consultancy services, constant monitoring of social harms and domestic violence, detection of the students prone to violence, enrollment of poorly supervised schoolgirls in boarding schools, and screening of the girls who have left school or been deprived of schooling.

The cabinet has also defined new responsibilities for the Ministry of Health regarding rapid treatment of the women harmed by violence, obliging the police to set up a special unit in police stations to ensure the safety of women, open special stations with female personnel, and detect the potential sources of violence against women.

The new bill also specifies punitive action on violence against women, including legal punishment, civil redress, and sentence terms in various cases threatening the physical and mental safety of women.

Vaezi said General Soleimani had dedicated himself to the people and Establishment of Iran.

“He was a moderate in the true sense of the word because he never restricted himself to political factions,” said Vaezi.

“He does not belong to the people of Iran only; rather, he is an extremely popular figure among Muslims and nations around the world,” he added.

“The anniversary of his cowardly assassination is an ideal opportunity to review some of the features which has elevated him to such a lofty status,” he explained.

“General Soleimani was a man who was present in the field. … He was also very brave, and today no one, even his enemies, has any doubts about it,” he added.

“This bravery, which emanated from his faith, trust in God and purified soul, was the most striking feature which distinguished his method of commanding with that of others,” Vaezi added.
“His regular presence in the most dangerous battlefields and in the front line …. boosted the morale of friendly troops and struck fear in to the hearts of enemies,” he said.

Vaezi noted general Soleimani’s success in overcoming terrorists in Iraq and Syria was an achievement that few people thought he would be able to do.

“What was happening on the ground in the region was not simply a number of small terrorist groups gaining power in limited areas in some countries; rather, Takfiri terrorism was the result of wicked alliance between some reactionary governments in the region and certain evil players beyond the region,” he said.

Vaezi underlined that general Soleimani’s campaign against these terrorists was and “unequal battle” because they received huge logistic support as well as equipment and manpower from their sponsors.

He also said the millions-strong funeral ceremony held for general Soleimani in cities in Iraq and Iran was the manifestation of unity and rapport among people, which the top general always liked to see when he was alive.

Expulsion of US Forces from Region Gaining Momentum: Iran

Speaking to the Lebanese newspaper Al-Ahed, Saeed Khatibzadeh further noted that Washington erroneously believes it can stop the campaign against oppression by killing people.

“The Americans believed the resistance front will be destroyed with the assassination of General Soleimani. Basically, the US front thinks it can stop public opinion and the fight against tyranny,” he said.

“But we have seen throughout the contemporary history that this policy has been a nonstarter. We saw in Lebanon that they killed Sayyed Abbas Mousavi, but Sayyed Hassan [Nasrallah] emerged from within the same resistance and followed in his footsteps with determination,” he added.

The spokesman added the assassination of Palestinian resistance leaders also failed to sap the will of Palestinians and even increased their support for resistance groups.

“The same thing has happened in Afghanistan, Iraq and other countries,” he said.

“The situation of the Americans is like a drowning person who will clutch at a straw,” he added.

Khatibzadeh said Washington is wasting American taxpayers’ money to cover costs which have turned into a quagmire for US officials.

Brigadier General Remezan Sharif, the spokesperson for Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), said it is Iran that will determine when and where to take revenge against the US.

“Iran still has the opportunity to avenge the assassination of General Qassem Soleimani, the late commander of the IRGC’s Quds Force. This will definitely happen, and will take place at the right time and place,” said the top general.

“This act of revenge should have the most effect on the enemy and should win the most support from the world of Islam,” he added.

“While the US is waiting to see Iran avenge the assassination of general Qassem Soleimani, it (the US) is sick and tired of remaining on standby,” he said.

He also noted the US is likely to make another mistake with regards to Iran.

“Tehran believes it is not unlikely for the US to commit another foolish act against Iran,” said General Sharif.

Soleimani’s Autobiography Unveiled with Ayatollah Khamenei’s Autograph

Last week, Ayatollah Khamenei lent the autograph to the book, whose title translates as “I was Not Afraid of Anything.” The autobiography was unveiled at a ceremony in Tehran on Sunday.

The Leader’s note reads, “Anything that brings the memory of our dear martyr to the fore appeals to the eye and the heart.”

“Even though, God has brought his memory to the height of prominence and, in this manner, rewarded the purity of his good deeds, each and every one of us also has a duty,” Ayatollah Khamenei wrote, underlining the need for the Iranian nation to commemorate General Soleimani.

The 136-page book is the first work to be published by Haj Qassem Publications that is tasked with safeguarding his legacy through written content.

The book features handwritten notes by the general, spanning from his childhood years through his youth and up to his participation in the struggle that led to the victory of Iran’s Islamic Revolution in 1979.

General Soleimani, who commanded the Quds Force of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), was admired as the Middle East’s most influential and charismatic counter-terrorism leader. He played a key role in helping Iraq and Syria defeat foreign-backed terrorists, chiefly Daesh, in late 2017.

The top commander was assassinated on January 3, 2020 in a drone strike in Baghdad upon a direct order by US President Donald Trump.

His Iraqi trenchmate Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, deputy commander of Iraq’s Hashd al-Sha’abi anti-terror force, along with several others were also killed when their convoy was hit.

Iran Says US Return to JCPOA ‘Worthless’ If Sanctions Not Fully Removed

“The US war of perception aimed at exaggerating a worthless issue like the country’s return to the JCPOA will go nowhere,” Shamkhani said in a Sunday tweet.

“The full and definite removal of all sanctions is Washington’s only option to return from Trump’s failed strategy of maximum pressure,” he added, posting his tweet with the hashtag #Active_Resistance.

The US, under Trump, unleashed a so-called maximum pressure campaign against Iran in 2018, when it unilaterally left the JCPOA, reached between the Islamic Republic and the P5+1 group of countries, the US, the UK, France, Russia, and China plus Germany, and endorsed by UN Security Council Resolution 2231.

Following its withdrawal, Washington targeted the Iranian nation with the “toughest ever” economic sanctions in order to bring it to its knees, but the country’s economy keeps humming and is getting back on its feet.

In an interview with CNN last month, US President-elect Joe Biden said he remains committed to the principles of the Iran nuclear deal.

Biden also denounced Trump’s withdrawal from the JCPOA.

The MPs also expressed their support for the vice presidency and its scientific programs.
