TEHRAN \u2013 The media briefing for the fifth anniversary of General Qassem Soleimani\u2019s martyrdom was held on Monday, at the Mehr Hall of the Art Bureau in Tehran.<\/p>\n
The event, aimed at outlining the planned commemorative activities, was attended by Seyed Mojtaba Abtahi, spokesperson for the event\u2019s organizing committee, alongside members of the press.<\/p>\n
During the ceremony, Abtahi highlighted the significance of the late General Soleimani\u2019s legacy and announced the slogan for the fifth anniversary: \u201cSoldier on Duty: Qassem Soleimani.\u201d He explained that the phrase was inspired by Soleimani\u2019s own frequent use of the term “soldier” to describe himself, symbolizing humility and dedication. Abtahi remarked, \u201cThe term reminds us all that in the service of Islam and the Islamic Republic, we are all soldiers.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani, the commander of the Quds Force of Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), was assassinated in a U.S. drone strike near Baghdad International Airport on January 3, 2020. The attack, ordered by then-President Donald Trump, also claimed the lives of several of Soleimani\u2019s companions.<\/p>\n
Last year, tragedy struck during the anniversary commemorations when two explosions occurred near Soleimani\u2019s tomb in Kerman, southeastern Iran. The blasts carried out by ISIS terrorists claimed the lives of several attendees who had gathered to honor the late general\u2019s memory.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s events are being carefully planned to ensure both safety and a meaningful tribute to his enduring legacy.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
