1)
This video is a compilation of the ridiculous remarks & lies aired by certain DC politicians & MSM about #Iran & the killing of Qassem Soleimani.

Please watch to the end of this 1:51 video & you’ll realize that #IraniansDetestSoleimani.
2)
Now let’s see a few examples from mainstream media.
The @nytimes described Soleimani as a
- “popular general”
- “national war hero”
- “Iran’s intrigue”
3)
@ForeignPolicy described Soliemani as a “patriotic moderate” and claims his killing “Has United Iranians Like Never Before.”

Iran apologists/lobbyists claim “large crowds” turned out for Soleimani’s funeral.

The thread below debunks their claims.
4)
Necessary reminder:

Soleimani commanded the regime’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) Quds Force.

The Quds Force established a large number of militia groups in Syria, used to kill innocent women and children.
5)
Necessary reminder:

Soleimani’s Quds Force established numerous militia groups in Iraq.

These groups have a long history of sectarian violence.
6)
“Amnesty International’s research reveals that war crimes and other gross human rights violations were committed by predominantly Sh’ia militias…”

7)
Soleimani & his Quds Force also have very close relations with the Lebanese Hezbollah.
8)
Soleimani’s Quds Force have also been involved in Yemen.

9)
The Houthis, backed by Iran’s regime, recruit children for war using slogans calling for murder, destruction & possibly even another Holocaust.
10)
Final thoughts:

The next time certain DC politicians, “Iran experts” or MSM glorify Soleimani in any way, debunk them with the truth.
11)
ADDENDUM

Quick question for certain DC politicians & MSM:

If Iranians consider Soleimani a "national war hero", "popular general" or whatever else you falsely describe him as, why are they tearing apart his images?
