I don't know if you have paid attention to the war in the Middle East, but in this seemingly peaceful era, the people in that region are still living in a rain of bullets.
They have no basic living environment, they tremble every day, they don't know which one will come first, and they don't know which one will come first.
The United States is an ambitious country, in the name of maintaining international order, implementing hegemonic policies and repeatedly infiltrating its forces into wars in the Iranian region.
However, the Iranian people are not sitting still, and there is also a well-armed anti-American force at home.
The brigade commander of this unit is Qasim Suleimani, known as iran's first spy king.
His influence throughout the Middle East is very large, and he has long been on the assassination list of the US military.
Qasim Suleimani
On January 3, 2020, he was killed on the spot by three US missiles at the Iranian capital international airport.
After The assassination of Soleimani, the entire Iranian people mourned and commemorated him, and even the US military gave him the highest praise.
So what kind of legendary story does Sulaimani have, let's walk into the life story of this character.
Join the Iranian 500-man regiment
Sulaimani was born on March 11, 1957, to a small mountain village in Islam.
The village is very poor and backward, and the parents are farmers with little culture in the area, who make a living by farming and working for others.
At a young age, Sulaimani did not receive a good school education, but only studied in a religious school for a few years.
When he grew up, Sulamani became very sensible, and earned money by working on his own to support his family.
It was the time of the Pahlavi rule in Iran, and people's lives were miserable.
Suffering from the oppression of the government, even the basic food and clothing are difficult to satisfy.
Sulaimani, who had no culture, worked as a mason, worked as a textile worker in a factory, and experienced all kinds of bitterness of life.
Sulaimani, who suffered a lot, saw all kinds of injustice and darkness in society.
He saw many U.S. troops stationed in Islam running amok, and his heart was full of hatred and disgust for them.
Later, by chance, he met Hogart, Khomeini's disciple.
Hogart told him a lot about religion, and he began to be enlightened by religion, and his heart began to slowly tend to use religion to change society.
Born in 1902, Khomeini is a Shia religious scholar.
In 1979, with the election of many supporters, Khomeini successfully became the country's supreme leader.
He overthrew the original ruling clique and became a new generation of spiritual leaders.
Khomeini
Sulaimani was deeply influenced by Khomeini at that time, and he began to try to become his master.
He took out all his savings and started a business, becoming a contractor for a water conservancy agency.
Becoming a contractor requires frequent trips to different places, and he often goes to the gym to exercise in his free time.
As a result, he also has a very good physical fitness, and his physique is stronger and burlier than the average person.
The victory of the Islamic Revolution in 1979 set off a nationwide upsurge of revolution.
At that time, because Khomeini was newly in office, there were many opponents who were eyeing him, so he specially formed a "500-man regiment".
Sulaimani, who was a follower of Khomeini, immediately signed up after seeing the regiment recruiting.
After a series of strict selections, Sulaimani relied on his strong physical fitness to smoothly become one of them.
After entering this team of five hundred people, Sulaimani received systematic training.
This training is more rigorous and cruel than the general military training, and the amount of training is very large, and the average person cannot bear it.
But Sulaimani persevered.
Later, he began to carry out the mission of the regiment, which was specifically responsible for the personal safety of Khomeini.
Sulaimani has won Khomeini's trust and value for his outstanding performance in many missions.
Gradually, he became the commander of this regiment.
In 1980, Islam and Iraq broke out the famous "Iran-Iraq War".
Iraq was a wealthy country at the time and wanted to take advantage of the instability of Khomeini's new regime to attack it and seize its Gulf territory.
Faced with Iraq's frenzied attacks and conspiracies to encroach on territorial borders, the Islamic side was forced to adopt a defensive policy.
At this time, Sulaimani was ordered to be promoted to lieutenant and was responsible for leading the newly formed Revolutionary Guards to the front line.
On the battlefield, Sulaimani was not afraid of danger, personally went to the battlefield, and was not afraid of the enemy's attack at all.
Completely disregarding his own life and safety, he took the initiative to go to the rear of the enemy for reconnaissance missions.
Later, he completely understood the deployment of the enemy's troops, swept the opponent away, and made great achievements.
Khomeini was very pleased to see Sulaimani's performance, and directly made him the commander of the 41st Brigade.
Under the wise leadership of Sulaimani, Iraq was gradually defeated.
In 1985, Islam began to switch from defense to attack, launching an island-grabbing campaign against Iraq.
In the process of the specific implementation of this operation, due to disagreement with his superiors, Sulaimani confronted the leader in front of his superiors and refused to carry out the orders of his superiors.
Sulaimani said that it is easy to seize a small island now, but it still needs a large number of reinforcements to guard it, which is the most difficult step.
Obviously, Sulaimani made a lot of sense, enough to see his vision and wisdom.
However, his reckless behavior still brought a bad impression to the superior leaders.
Everyone thought he was blind and arrogant.
In 1988, the eight-year-long Iran-Iraq War declared an imminent armistice.
Just when they thought the enemy would not act again, six days before the ceasefire,
Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein reorganized the Iranian exiles and formed the "National Liberation Army".
Direct occupation of a border town in Iran.
At this time, Sulaimani immediately launched a counter-offensive and quickly led his troops to cut off the supply source of the "National Liberation Army" in the city.
Besiege them all in the town and launch a fierce artillery attack.
The war lasted less than 3 days before Soleimani annihilated all enemies and took back the town.
Although the Iran-Iraq War is over, there are still many problems left over from the war.
For example, in the border area between Iran and Afghanistan, this is an important transportation location.
Many drug dealers trade drugs here, and they also grow large quantities of opium poppies here, which is a world-famous drug production base.
It is worth noting that these drug dealers are not ordinary civilians without the power of chickens.
They are well-armed and well-armed, and it is difficult to be easily eradicated.
At this time, Sulaimani was sent here to be responsible for the remediation of the area.
Sulaimani was not afraid of these drug dealers at all, and sent the most powerful troops to fight the drug dealers, and even sent out fighter jets.
The drug dealers were frightened by Sulaimani's battle and fled elsewhere.
Sulaimani destroyed the drug production base here, relying on his own iron fist means, so that no caravans would ever come to Iran to sell drugs.
In this way, Iran will not have Afghan drugs entering the country, so that Iran is protected from Afghan drugs, which can be said to be a great contribution to the people.
Formation of the Special Forces of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards
In 2000, the situation in Iran continued to be tense, and in order to better protect national security, Sulaimani continued to be appointed.
The special forces of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards were formed.
This unit, the feared Iranian Quds Force, was led by Soleimani as brigade commander.
Soleimani has a lot of leadership power and can make his own decisions, only with Khomeini's consent.
The soldiers in this unit received special training.
Al Quds Brigades, Iran
Not only do they have good physical skills, but they also need to be smart and know how to be a successful spy.
This unit would often quietly send agents to other areas.
In 2003, the United States overthrew Saddam Hussein's regime, causing riots and chaos in Iraq.
Sulaimani took advantage of this opportunity to secretly send a lot of agents of the Quds Force to Iraq.
The agents also supported local Iraqi forces in confrontation with the United States under Soleimani's instructions.
Sulaimani's high profile has long attracted the attention of the United States, and he has obviously become a thorn in the eye of the United States.
In 2007, at the urging of the United States, the United Nations passed a resolution to sanction Iran's top military and political officials.
Soleimani, on the other hand, is on the list of high-ranking Iranian officials who have been sanctioned.
Sulaimani didn't care at all when he knew it, didn't look at the list at all, and continued to act according to his own wishes.
He only does what he thinks is right, and only against the United States.
In 2008, Through his own efforts, Sulaimani made the Iraqi government and the "Mahdi Army" stop the civil unrest, and finally reached a ceasefire agreement.
This matter is also the wish of the United States for many years, and Sulaimani accidentally helped the United States.
But the United States will not thank him, but will continue to grasp the handle of Sulaimani.
In October 2011, the U.S. side claimed to have sabotaged an Iranian assassination of its ambassador to the United States, which was orchestrated by members of the Quds Force.
In February 2012, an Israeli diplomatic vehicle was also hit by a bomb in New Delhi.
Iranian personnel were also found to have been involved in the attack, but there is no strong evidence to prove it.
For the above two incidents, the US side said that it was inseparable from the Iranian side, and they suspected that Sulaimani operated under the direction of the Iranian government.
However, in the face of accusations from the US military, the Iranian side has always ignored them.
Sulaimani also did not deny or admit it, making the US side helpless against them.
Don't look at Sulaimani as such a high-profile person, in fact, Sulaimani also has a well-known name, that is, "the god of the dark game".
He was responsible for almost the entire Iranian intelligence work against the world, using covert manipulation to successfully deploy spies to the entire Middle East.
Therefore, he is known as the "God of Darkness".
Sulaimani's one move can easily change the form of the Middle East.
Even U.S. officials have praised him as having "demonic genius abilities."
This ability requires not only hard work, but also extremely high talent, which even the US Intelligence Agency has to admire.
In August 2014, Sulaimani voluntarily stepped down as the brigade commander of the Quds Force and handed it over to his subordinates.
His behavior caused quite a stir, but clear-eyed people can see that even if Sulaimani is not in this position, he is still the leader of this special force.
In 2015, Soleimani also single-handedly carried out the kidnapping of the Qatari royal family that shocked the entire Middle East.
Qatar is currently the richest country in the Middle East, when nine wealthy royal families went hunting in the desert in Iraq's Muthanna province.
The act of hunting was one of the favorite recreational activities of the Arab royal family.
While they were hunting, they were spotted by a nearby Shiite militia and kidnapped without authorization.
After the incident, Qatar attached great importance to it and vowed to rescue the nine people at all costs.
You know, these nine people are almost all sons of kings or princes.
So why did Sulaimani go so far as to offend Qatar to carry out this kidnapping?
It turned out that Sulaimani had two main purposes.
The first purpose is to demand a sky-high ransom to solve the problem of the military expenditure of the Holy City Brigade.
The second purpose is to exchange four cities, that is, Iran wants to protect the security of the capital Damascus and to exchange the population of the surrounding cities.
These two objectives can only be achieved with the help of Qatar.
In order to save its children, the Qatari royal family reluctantly agreed to these two conditions of Sulaimani.
This completely solves the security risk of Damascus, the Syrian capital.
This act by the Qatari royal family has aroused strong opposition and dissatisfaction from other countries.
But it is also hindered by its status and dare not fight against it.
In this way, the regime in Syria became more secure, laying a good foundation for later victories.
It has to be said that Sulaimani is a wise figure, his position in the hearts of the Iranian people is very high, and there are a large number of people who support and support him.
He was killed by three U.S. missiles
On January 3, 2020, near the International Airport in Baghdad, the iraqi capital, there was a sudden attack by U.S. forces.
The US military dropped three missiles in a row, and Sulaimani, who was at the scene, did not escape the missile attack and was shot and killed on the spot.
Soleimani's death caused a sensation throughout the Middle East, and many people mourned his death.
In particular, the Iranian side strongly condemned the US military's attack and asked the US side to give a reasonable explanation.
The US Department of Defense said that in the previous attacks on US troops stationed in Iraq, Sulaimani was the biggest mastermind behind the scenes.
In that terrorist attack, hundreds of American and other Allied troops were injured, and Sulaimani deserved to be punished.
The Iranian side is completely unacceptable to this explanation given by the US side.
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and President Hassan Rouhani have issued tough warnings to the US military.
The Iranian side will definitely not give up, they will take "revenge action" and make the US military pay a huge price.
On January 4, 2020, many people spontaneously dressed in black gathered in Baghdad, the Iraqi capital.
To mourn the death of Sulaimani and others who died in this attack.
The Iranian government also directly ordered the people of the whole country to mourn for Suleimani for three days.
On January 7, 2020, Sulaimani was officially arranged for burial.
On the day of the burial, almost all the people rushed to see him off, crowding the streets of the city.
Due to the excessive number of people in the funeral procession, there were also serious stampedes.
It killed 56 people and injured more than 200 others.
This scene was too spectacular, and Iranian television quickly called an emergency medical team to rescue and maintain order at the scene.
However, where these people listened to the persuasion, they all followed the devil and came to send the "God of Darkness" in their hearts on the last journey.
On January 8, 2020, an unfamiliar mobile force launched an attack on two U.S. military bases in Iran.
According to Iranian television, the name of the operation of their attack team was "Martyr Sulaimani".
They fired a total of 15 missiles at U.S. military bases, and eleven of them hit targets.
For the consequences of this operation, in February 2020, the US side disclosed that the operation caused many US soldiers mild traumatic brain injuries.
The Iranians did not give up, and they also made a list of U.S. troops who attacked Sulamani.
And take these U.S. generals to court, be sure to let them be punished by the law.
On January 3, 2021, the first anniversary of Sulaimani's death, many people spontaneously came to Baghdad Airport, the site of Sulaimani's attack last year.
Some of them held candles in their hands, some held up portraits of Soleimani, and some waved flags.
They are not only to commemorate Sulaimani, but also to declare to the world that they will not give up on getting justice for him.
On January 3, 2022, the Iranian side still did not forget Sulaimani.
They say that Soleimani is no longer a spiritual leader, but has become a symbol of Iran's unity and victory.
Although Sulaimani died, his spirit has always inspired the local people.
The people there will not forget him, and Iran will always ask for an explanation for Sulaimani and bring the culprits of Sulaimani's assassination to justice.
The life of Iran's famous Sulaimani is too legendary.
He has an intelligence network throughout the Middle East and a well-run special forces force.
It can easily affect the entire situation in the Middle East, and even U.S. officials have given him the highest evaluation.
However, he eventually suffered from the sudden death of three missiles attacked by the US military, which is definitely a big loss for Iran and the fall of a generation of anti-American superstars.
After the US military gets rid of Sulaimani, it is presumably more unscrupulous to control the Middle East.
No matter what kind of people in any country or region, they must have been born to yearn for peace, who would like war?
As long as the peoples of various regions and countries are united, they will certainly be able to avoid war and resist foreign aggression.
