Mard-e-Maidan Qasem Soleimani | H.I. Ameen Shaheedi | Holy Shrine Imam...
Qasem Soleimani[note 2] (Persian: قاسم سلیمانی, pronounced [ɢɒːˌsem solejˈmɒːniː]; 11 March 1957 – 3 January 2020)...
Qasem Soleimani[note 2] (Persian: قاسم سلیمانی, pronounced [ɢɒːˌsem solejˈmɒːniː]; 11 March 1957 – 3 January 2020) was an Iranian major general in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and, from 1998 until his death in 2020, commander of its Quds Force, a division primarily responsible for extraterritorial military and clandestine operations. In his later years, he was considered by some to be the second most powerful person in Iran behind Ayatollah Ali Khamenei[21][22] and his right-hand man.[23]
Soleimani was assassinated in a targeted U.S. drone strike on 3 January 2020 in Baghdad, which was approved by U.S. President Donald Trump. The strike was strongly condemned by some, including the Iranian government, and a multi-city funeral was held in Iraq and Iran for Soleimani and other casualties. Hours after his burial on 7 January 2020, the Iranian military launched missiles against U.S. bases in Iraq; while no lives were lost in the second attack, the Pentagon reported that 110 U.S. troops were wounded as a result.[24][25]
Soleimani initially worked in construction[26][27] before joining the Revolutionary Guards during the Iranian Revolution in 1979. He assembled and led a company of soldiers when the Iran–Iraq War began in 1980, rising through the ranks to become commander of the 41st Tharallah Division in his 20s.[28] He was later involved in extraterritorial operations, and in the late 1990s became commander of the Quds Force.[29] Following the September 11 attacks, Iranian diplomats under his direction cooperated with the U.S. to fight the Taliban.[2] Soleimani also provided assistance to Hezbollah in Lebanon.[2] In 2012, Soleimani helped bolster the government of Syria and its president, Bashar al-Assad, a key Iranian ally. He ran Iran\'s operations in the Syrian Civil War and helped to plan the Russian military intervention in Syria.[30] Soleimani coordinated Kurdish Peshmerga and Shia militia forces in Iraq, and assisted them during the expansion of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant in 2014.[31][32][33][34]
Soleimani was popular among many Iranians, with many viewing him as a \"selfless hero fighting Iran\'s enemies\",[35][36][37] while others deemed him a \"murderer\".[38][39][40] Soleimani was personally sanctioned by the United Nations and the European Union[41][42][43] and was designated as a terrorist by the United States in 2005

Rouhani said Iran and Pakistan also believe that regional issues can be resolved through dialogue. He said Iran would reciprocate any goodwill gesture. Also in his remarks, Rouhani referred to Friday’s missile attacks on an Iranian tanker in the Red Sea near the Saudi port city of Jeddah. He said it would be an absolute mistake for a country to think that it can create instability in the region, but receives no response. For his part, the Pakistani premier said his trip to Tehran is aimed at facilitating talks between Iran and Saudi Arabia.

Britain is in the grip of cuts, rising social exclusion and austerity that’s led to some of the most worrying crime figures in recent memory.
Poverty is seen as a key factor shaping children and teens, pushing them in the arms of crime. Often living in so-called disadvantaged areas, they suffer the results of cuts to their schools and youth services.
Despite the increasing violence, police forces have been experiencing the greatest cuts, with a reduction of 18% in the total workforce between March 2010 and 2018.

Supreme Leader: Saudi Government Should Accept Responsibility for Mina Calamity.
27/09/2015
The following is the full text of the speech delivered on September 27, 2015 by Ayatollah Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, at the start of Dars-e Kharij.
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Today, after a long break, we will resume our discussion, but our hearts are full of sorrow and grief because of the sad event that occurred in Mina and that turned our Eid into mourning in the real sense of the word.
Every year, during the hajj season - during these days when the hajj pilgrimage is over - the country experiences a public joy. Hajj pilgrims return and families are happy because fathers, children and spouses are back. Families celebrate the return of their hajj pilgrims and the success of their pilgrimage. Every year, this is the case. It is a time of celebration, but this year, this celebration time has turned into a time of mourning.
In many provinces of the country, the number of casualties is large and the remains of the deceased should be returned. Therefore, hearts are truly mournful on these days. One cannot forget about this feeling of grief even for a single moment. In recent days, this feeling of grief has troubled our hearts and the hearts of others.
The conclusion that we should draw is that the responsibility of this heavy incident and this grave disaster falls on the shoulders of the Saudi rulers. They should accept the responsibility for this matter. If they shift the blame on others, constantly accuse this and that person and praise themselves in an incessant manner, these actions will get them nowhere. These actions are fruitless. After all, the world of Islam has certain questions.
Is the death of more than one thousand individuals from different Islamic countries and in one single incident a joke? And God knows how many hundreds of people from our country have lost their lives. Moreover, it is not clear where the missing people are. It is possible that many of them are among the deceased. Is the death of several hundred individuals in an event - the event of hajj - a minor incident? Is it a joke? The world of Islam should think about this.
The first issue is that the Saudis should accept their responsibility and the requirements for accepting this responsibility should be acted on. If they engage in criticizing and accusing this and that person instead of apologizing to the Islamic Ummah and to the families, this will get them nowhere because nations are seriously pursuing this matter. This matter will not be forgotten. I hope- God willing- that God will ordain good.
