General Soleimani assassination undermined US Middle East strategy

Hussein Sheikh-ul-Islam, senior Iranian political commentator, in an interview with Taqrib News Agency (TNA) related on the unifying role of General Soleimani in the Middle East region and failure of the US schemes to divide Iran and Iraq.

He noted that General Soleimani has never been unavailable for the arrogant powers and said,” Based on Iraqi Prime Minister top Iranian commander was conveying a message for Iraqi government and was not on commanding a counter-Daesh military operation in this trip; hence, the US has made no achievement in this operation.”

Iranian commentator referred to the high price which should have been paid by the United States to assassinate Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani and said,” Since Washington found top IRGC commander on top of his victories in counter-terrorism campaign he made the big mistake to target General Soleimani.”

He said,” The major strategy of arrogant powers was to divide Iran and Iraq nations though the massive funeral held for Lieutenant General Soleimani in Iran and Iraq foiled Washington strategy.”

Hussein Sheikh-ul-Islam called Daesh as the prime US scheme against Islamic Revolution and a fake role model masterminded by arrogant powers.

He hailed Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani over fulfilling a promise to eliminate Daesh in a two-year span and said,” The massive funeral held for General Soleimani proves that sectarian differences played no role in love of the people for IRGC Quds Force commander.”
