How did martyr Soleimani change the course of history?
Iranian soldier, International General
In the history of international relations, few individuals have had the distinctive characteristic of “digitizing history.” If concepts such as “balance of power,” “Congress of Vienna,” or “shuttle diplomacy” are reminiscent of the results of the actions of “Otto von Bismarck,” German Chancellor Napoleon Bonaparte, and the late US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger in international politics, the “Axis of Resistance” is also the Iranian legacy of General Soleimani in the history of international relations.
According to the Foreign Policy Group, “We are supposed to conquer 7 countries in 5 years, and the first country is Iraq, and finally Iran; I asked if this document was confidential? He said: Yes!”
The story of General Soleimani in the region begins right at this point in the memoirs of American General Wesley Mallark, where George W. Bush had recently called Iran the axis of evil, and the great Iranian general in return established an order that a Libyan newspaper first called the “Axis of Resistance.”
The successful experience of the United States and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in Eastern Europe in the early 1990s, which led to the disintegration of Yugoslavia, also provided an incentive to pursue this strategy in the Middle East. Thus, since the beginning of the third millennium, the "Balkanization" of West Asia and the division of the countries of the region with the aim of Israel's supremacy in West Asia have paved the way for a special Western-Hebrew partnership.
General Wesley Clark, a senior American military officer and former commander of NATO forces, said three years ago, while reviewing his memories of the days after September 11, that the United States had been seeking to attack and occupy seven countries, including Iran, from the very first days after that incident!
This senior American military officer says in this revelation: "One of the generals called me and said we need to talk to each other. He told me that we had made a decision and that we wanted to go to war with Iraq. I said war with Iraq? Why? He said he didn't know, he said because they didn't know what else to do, I said have they found any information that would indicate Saddam's connection to al-Qaeda? He said no, there was no new information, they had decided to go to war with Iraq. A few weeks later I went to the Pentagon twice to see him. At that time we were bombing Afghanistan. I said are we still going to invade Iraq? He said it was even worse, he took a piece of paper from his desk and said I brought this from the Secretary of Defense's office and it is a document that shows how we are going to conquer 7 countries in 5 years and the first country will be Iraq, then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and finally Iran; I asked if this document was classified? He said yes!
Iranian general, architect of regional order
The appointment of Martyr Soleimani to the General of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps coincided with the early years of the post-Cold War era. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the international system became unipolar and the United States emerged as the hegemon. It was in such an atmosphere that the then US President George Herbert Walker Bush spoke of creating a “new world order.” The lightning-fast military victory of the United States in the First Persian Gulf War and Operation Desert Storm had created an invincible image of America in the minds and beliefs.
During these two fateful decades, by establishing the Resistance Network, Lieutenant General Soleimani was not only able to create the “antithesis” of the US hegemony in the region, but also architected an order that changed the fate of the Middle East forever.
For the first time in the history of contemporary international relations, Martyr Qassem Soleimani was able to create a pole of power from the axis of resistance consisting of “parastatal” groups. Also, linking Iran's national interests with the resistance movement and combining real politics with the issue of identity and common ideals is a distinctive feature that gives General Soleimani a historical distinction in international relations studies.
The Combating Terror Center writes: " Iran has demonstrated its power in recent years across the Middle East, from Lebanon and Syria to Iraq and Yemen. One key to its success has been its unique strategy of combining military and state power, modeled in part on the Lebanese Hezbollah. The main architect of this policy has been General Qassem Soleimani, the General of Iran’s Quds Force.
General Stanley McChrystal, the top American military commander in Afghanistan and Iraq who led the fight against al-Qaeda, wrote about Soleimani in Foreign Policy: “Soleimani is an analyst strategist. He has built enduring relationships to strengthen Iran’s position in the region. Under Soleimani’s leadership, the Quds Force has greatly expanded its capabilities. His shrewd pragmatism has made the unit an influential force beyond Iran’s borders.”
The four-star American general continues: “However, it would be unwise to study Soleimani’s success without placing him in a broader geopolitical context.” He is a unique Iranian leader, a clear product of the country’s post-1979 revolution vision. His broad assessment of Iran’s interests is consistent with that prevalent among Iranian elites. Above all, Soleimani is driven by a passionate nationalism that is the lifeblood of Iranian citizens.
Quds Commandar
In West Asia, the names of Israel and General Soleimani have always been in a historical context. At least since 2001, when the United States made its final decision for the future of the region and the establishment of Greater Israel. A battle that is for the future of the region.
Since its inception by General Soleimani, the Resistance Network has fulfilled its historical duties towards Palestine and this decisive battle.
The occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq under the pretext of the September 11 incident and the mobilization of hundreds of thousands of American soldiers with an unprecedented accumulation of weapons in the region, presented a golden opportunity for the Zionist regime and the implementation of the “New Middle East” project by the United States.
The Beginning of Israel's Defeat
Lebanese Hezbollah's victories against the Israeli army began in 2000, in the first two years of General Soleimani's presence as commander of the Quds Force of the IRGC.
The 33-Day War of 2006 began in an atmosphere where, backed by the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan by the United States, the Zionist regime saw the conditions ready to transform the region and destroy the resistance.
The phrase that then-US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice used during the 33-Day War of 2006 between Israel and the Lebanese resistance and describing the killing of civilians was indicative of this design. Rice said: "What we are seeing here is the 'labor pains' of a new Middle East, and whatever we do, we must be sure that we are moving towards the new Middle East, not returning to the old one."
However, this project faced a major obstacle from two resistance commanders. General Soleimani and Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah in the resistance operations room inflicted the first official military defeat on the Zionist regime since 1948.
Siege on Seven Fronts
"For the first time since 1948, Israel is facing seven fronts designed by the Iranians: Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Iran, the West Bank (Judea and Samaria). Gaza and the Houthis in Yemen," says Colonel Jacques Neriah, foreign policy advisor to former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin.
The Israeli official emphasizes: "This unity of fronts to strangle Israel was the vision of the "Ring of Fire" strategy of Qassem Soleimani, commander of the Quds Force in the IRGC, which was not considered serious at first, but today has emerged as a united coalition whose goal is to launch a war of attrition and drag Israel into an endless war that it cannot continue in the long term militarily, politically and economically."
After assuming command of the Quds Force, Martyr Soleimani quickly opened the files of the Palestinian and Lebanese resistance. In 1999, General Qassem Soleimani arranged for Sheikh Ahmad Yassin to travel to Iran. The Quds Force commander's focus was on how to strengthen the resistance and enter the liberation phase.
General Soleimani and the Intifada
In September 2000, Ariel Sharon stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque. At that time, it was decided to form a working committee between the Quds Force, Palestinian and Lebanese groups, led by General Soleimani, with the aim of developing the Intifada.
In this regard, Osama Hamdan, a senior member of Hamas, says: Meetings were held from the first day focusing on how to deal with this Intifada as a strategic project in confronting the occupation. They were weekly meetings in which General Soleimani always participated and listened to ideas. No idea was ever proposed unless he expanded it.
Martyr Soleimani worked hard on the plan to transfer weapons to Gaza and used many means for this purpose. Hamdan says: Hajj Qassem did not fail to transport weapons to any Palestinian faction in need of weapons for resistance.
Even the assassination of Sheikh Ahmed Yassin by Israel and Yasser Arafat in 2004 did not silence the Intifada, and the discussion arose in the Zionist regime about how they wanted to extinguish the Intifada. On August 25, 2005, Gaza was liberated and Israel unilaterally withdrew. By then, hundreds of Israeli soldiers had been killed and settlers had fled the Gaza Strip. Israel thought it was getting rid of Gaza, but it did not foresee how their withdrawal would pave the way for the coordination and development of the resistance.
The General and the Geography of Gaza
On the tenth anniversary of the martyrdom of Imad Mughniyeh, General Soleimani said: "The Gaza Strip and Lebanon have become a “permanent point of tension” for Israel and the resistance front will expand."
Coordination between the Quds Force and all Palestinian resistance factions from Hamas, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, and creating a coordinated strategy among them was an action that General Soleimani took in the Palestinian case.
Ziad Nakhaleh, Secretary-General of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, said about General Soleimani in an interview in December 2021: “Nothing has happened in Gaza without the direct orders and supervision of General Soleimani.” I can say that the missiles he delivered to the Gaza Strip were the same missiles that were used to attack Tel Aviv. May Hajj Qassem played a key role in the Palestinians daring to attack the capital of the Zionist regime.
In this regard, The Times of Israel writes: " It was with Soleimani’s efforts to provide missiles and modern weapons that the Palestinians used them to attack Israel. In the 8-day and 22-day Gaza wars, the Quds Commander's important action was to deliver weapons to the Palestinians and break the arms blockade of Gaza."
The Secretary General of Islamic Jihad emphasized in an interview with Al-Mayadeen Network: " General Soleimani not only transferred weapons to the besieged Gaza Strip, but under his supervision it was decided that Gaza would develop its ability to manufacture weapons, including missiles."
Defeat of ISIS in Syria
This statement by Donald Trump during the 2016 presidential election campaign, which was founded by the US and the Obama administration, revealed a grand regional design that portrayed this terrorist group as a tool to dismember countries that were enemies of Israel.
Within 3 years, this grand project was defeated in Iraq and Syria by both General Soleimani and his soldiers.
The New Yorker magazine wrote in this regard: " General Soleimani commanded thousands of Syrian National Defense Forces, Quds Force, Zainabi, Fatemiyoun, Badr, and Popular Mobilization Forces throughout Syria. In this regard, according to John Maguire, a former CIA officer, the planning and retaking of the Qusayr region from Salafi jihadi forces in May 2013 was organized by General Soleimani himself.
Bordering Israel!
Yedioth Ahronoth reported five years ago: Former Mossad chief Yossi Cohen, speaking to European intelligence chiefs at the Munich conference, said Iran had succeeded in creating a Shiite crescent, which may not be in the classical religious sense, but would make it possible to transport a truckload of missiles or other smart weapons from Tehran to the Lebanese coast. According to Cohen, the person responsible for implementing this vision is Qassem Soleimani.
Cohen emphasized that removing Iran from the Middle East was his organization’s main goal. “Iran, which is located 1,500 kilometers from Israel, has succeeded in creating a real border with Israel, while Israel has no border with Iran,” Cohen told his colleagues. “First from Lebanon and now from Syria, they can operate directly against Israeli communities and strategic targets in Israel. This is a very serious strategic threat that Israel faces.”
Tamir Pardo, the former head of the Israeli intelligence agency (Mossad), also told Ynet about the commander of the Quds Force. Iran is an organized country with bureaucracy and political struggles. In such a country, it is very rare to see someone remain in a significant position of power for a long time and gain more power instead of being removed.
The French website Orient wrote in December 2018: From the Achaemenid Empire to the Islamic Republic; after a very long absence, Iran is reviving a very ancient history by establishing itself in the Mediterranean. This is the legacy of General Soleimani for Iran in a turbulent region.
