Pres. Rouhani: Martyr Soleimani everlasting in history of Iran, freedom-seekers around world

AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Iran's President praised the self-sacrifices and devotion of Martyr Lieutenant General Qasem Soleimani and said, "Martyr Soleimani will be everlasting in the history of Iran and freedom-seekers around world”.

Iran's President Hassan Rouhani visited Martyr Lieutenant General Qasem Soleimani’s house on Saturday morning and offered his family congratulations and condolences over the brave general of Islam’s martyrdom.

Stating that today not only the Iranian nation, but also the entire freedom-seeking Muslim peoples around the world mourn the great martyr’s loss, he said, "Despite the fact that people know the aspects of his self-sacrifice and jihad, his great work and activities must be made clear for everybody”.

Soleimani was a general who never dismounted from the horse of jihad during these 38 years and his efforts were round the clock, Dr Rouhani said, "The services of this great martyr for providing the security to the country and the region, especially for the people of Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Lebanon and Afghanistan, are unforgettable”.

He also said that the name and memory of the great martyr will stay with the Iranian nation forever, saying, "The crime the United States committed will remain in the history of their biggest crimes against the Iranian nation”.

“The Americans did not understand what grave mistake they committed; they will face the consequences of this criminal act not only today, but also in the coming years,” he said.

The President added, "There is no doubt that the US is now more hated among Iranians and Iraqis”.

The level of Martyr Soleimani was nothing less than being martyred by the greatest terrorist of history, he said, adding, "All American forces joined hands with full readiness to take this great asset from us and Muslim nations”.

Stating that the Almighty will compensate this loss, Dr Rouhani said, "The dear young people of Iran follow the path of Martyr Soleimani and, God-willing, tens of General Soleimani will be brought up in this country”.

Dr Rouhani added, "The empty place of General Soleimani cannot be filled easily, because he was not only a war commander and designer of major operations, but also an exceptional, talented politician and strategist”.

He added, "Martyr Soleimani was always working tirelessly for the oppressed peoples and the security of regional countries, and today, all Muslims and freedom-seekers around the world are mourning his loss”.

Referring to his brave presence in fighting ISIS terrorists and defending the shrines of Ahl ul-Bayt, the President said, "His place and efforts are unforgettable in our history and General Soleimani will remain everlasting in the history of Iran”.

He also said that the Iranian nation reserves the right to avenge Martyr Soleimani’s blood, adding, "Martyr Soleimani’s blood will be avenged on the day we see the evil hand of America is cut short of the region for good”.

The President continued, "The Iranian nation will display their respect for the path of martyrs with their greatness and large presence at Martyr Soleimani’s funeral”.

“Iranian nation’s enemies were very angry about General Soleimani’s efforts and plans for regional stability and security, because the enemies’ plots would be revealed very soon by his wisdom and planning; this is why they martyred him,” said Rouhani.
