By Staff

Chief Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guard [IRG], Major General Hossein Salami hailed the role former Quds Force Commander Lieutenant General Martyr Qassem Soleimani played in empowering Islamic countries.

Major General Salami made the comments during a ceremony to introduce the Quds Force's new deputy for coordination affairs attended by Quds Force Commander General Esmail Ghaani and some other senior IRG commanders in Tehran on Wednesday.

Salami hailed the role the Quds Force played in foiling the Arrogant Powers' [major western powers] plots to divide the Islamic countries.

He also pointed to the great role Martyr Soleimani played in bringing the Islamic nations together while securing the Iranian national interests, saying that the Quds Force along with Iraqi and Syrian local forces did not allow that the formation of a state favored by the Global Arrogance in those countries.

General Salami further explained that the Quds Force could successfully defend Iran and Islam's interests by relying on the young generation to form the Resistance Front.

The top IRG chief went on to say that Martyr Soleimani chased the enemies in deserts, mountains and plains to bring security to Iran and other Islamic nations, adding that had it not been for Soleimani presence in the battlefield, Daesh would have become a pandemic like coronavirus pandemic today.

"Had it not been for this huge force with so much support on the ground, Daesh would be a dangerous political virus today, a political coronavirus and a security coronavirus," he said. "If Haj Qassem had not stood, Daesh would have infiltrated in this land and other lands and other social structures today."

General Salami also said that the efforts made by Martyrs Soleimani and IRG Quds Force's former second-in-command General Hejazi, who passed away on April 18 brought power and security to the nation today.

After the demise of General Sayyed Mohammad Hejazi on April 18 after a long battle with the effects of chemical weapons he suffered during the Iraqi imposed war on Iran between 1980-1980, Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Fallahzadeh replaced him as the Second-in-Command of the Quds Force.

Fallahzadeh served as the Quds Force's deputy for coordination affairs before assuming his new position on April 19 by the Leader of the Islamic Revolution His Eminence Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei who is the commander-in-chief of all the Iranian armed forces.
