I have had the fortune of knowing Martyr Saoleimin
maybe from the early 1990s, when I entered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and
it was at the very beginning of my career that I got to know him closely. You
may be interested to know that the first thing that really attracted me to him
was his religious spirit and his humbleness in interacting with others.
In my opinion, the most important characteristic of
General Soleimani was that he strongly believed in Velayat-e Faqih. Many times,
in meetings where we may have been in the minority, from the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Information and other departments - while
the majority of his colleagues were IRGC commanders and friends of the Quds
Force - we heard him say that we have been fortunate to be able to work for the
holy system of the Islamic Republic of Iran and this is a great honor.
General Soleimani was a “diplomat” in the true sense
of the concept. This statement may seem very strange to some people. How can a
military general be a diplomat? His work and coordination at the regional level
followed three important axes and three basic strategies, all of which
culminated in a key point and that was to promote the Islamic world and revive
Islamic civilization in the contemporary world. The three important strategies
that Martyr Soleimani pursued in his day-to-day endeavors were: promoting the
Islamic world, fighting terrorism, and preventing the disintegration of Iraq
and Syria, and he has been decisively successful in achieving all the three
strategies.
As regards fighting terrorism, Martyr Soleimani was
able to expose the complex Zionist-US plan, which was funded by some Arab
countries, in a way that he could explicitly announce that ISIS would be
finished in the West Asian region in less than three months. And this important
occurrence did take place as predicted by him.
There are many unknown things about the character of
this national commander. General Soleimani, has left behind many unforgettable
memories of himself in the region, and these memories of his and his unique way
of operating continue to play a role in the region. This is the reason that
dozens of books have been written about his role during the eight years of
sacred defense, his fight against smugglers and miscreants in the eastern part
of the country, as well as the way he fought against terrorism and the agents
of the Zionist regime.
General Soleimani had a special personality and
characteristics, but, unfortunately, less than five percent of his memoirs and
thoughts have been revealed so far, and now we have realized what a national
hero the American terrorist butchers and the Zionists took from us.
With the martyrdom of General Soleimani, a great
vacuum has been created in the region and we strongly feel his absence because
one of his brilliant characteristics was that he had a wide horizon and vision
for the future, and I emphasize that his genius will continue to be manifested
in the region for at least the next five decades. There are many memories of
Martyr Soleimani that prove this great commander is still present in the region
and the country.
I had a long meeting with Martyr Soleimani in 2018,
which lasted more than 3.5 hours. In this meeting, General Soleimani said that
one of his concerns was about some countries in the Persian Gulf, which will
start a close relationship with the Zionist regime in less than two years and
this is going to be gradually revealed to everyone.
During one of my trips to Syria, some of General Soleimani’s friends told me that in the course of some of the operations they carry out against the Zionist forces in the region, they dream of General Soleimani who shows them the roadmap and tells them how the operation is to be carried out.
