The Commander of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in Iran, Brigadier General Esmail Qaani, emphasized in a message that the unique funeral procession for the pure body of our martyred Imam in Iraq will solidify the united, interlocking fists of both nations against American conspiracies, and will reinforce the red line to avenge his blood.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, General Qaani noted, "The Iraqi people's demand to hold funeral ceremonies for the martyred leader of the Islamic Revolution, alongside the extensive preparations undertaken by the state and the people of Iraq for this historic event, reflects the deep spiritual ties between the two great nations of Iran and Iraq before the eyes of the world."

The Quds Force Commander added that the martyred leader's support for the Iraqi people, combined with the actions of the religious authority (Marjaiya), led the martyr Qasem Soleimani to fight side-by-side with Iraq's sacrificing youth against the ISIS organization and the aggressive United States, before the criminal Trump moved to assassinate the hero of both nations along with the great leader of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis.
