Indeed long overdue. No "Ambassador" title should cover the nature of a terror master. Iraj Masjedi is one of the most veteran commanders of the IRGC and one of the first commanding organizers of its Qods Force, which was formed in early 1990s to do nothing but #terrorism. 1/

Prior to 2003, Masjedi was the commander of Ramazan Garrison in Western Iran, which was the base of the regime forces and groups who pursued terrorist operations in Iraq. Hadi Ameri (then commander of the Badr Corp) and Abu Mahdi al-Mohandes, were under his command. 2/ 
After 2003, Hashd Al-Shaabi (militia) was fully under the command of Iraj Masjedi as he worked closely with Mohandes who was running day-to-day operations of the Shiite militias in Iraq, before he was eliminated along with Qassem Soleimani in Jan. 2020 by the United States. 3/
Iraj Masjedi was for years Chief of Staff of the Qods Force, the extra-territorial branch of IRGC, and in this position he oversaw planning and commanding of Shiite terrorist groups, particularly against coalition forces, including attacks using IEDs. 4/
Since late 2013 until 2017, Masjedi was practically the deputy of Qassem Soleimani (then Commander of Qods force) in Iraq, as such the then Iranian regime ambassador to Iraq, Hassan Danaeifar, himself a commander of the Qods Force, served under the command of Iraj Masjedi. 5/
In March 2014, Masjedi officially became in charge of Iraq’s dossier in the Qods Force and was stationed in Iraq advancing the terrorist Qods Force plans for 3 yrs until officially appointed as the regime’s ambassador to Iraq in late December 2016. 6/
Iraj Masjedi oversaw terrorist operations and attacks on the camps of the main Iranian opposition movement, the MEK while they were in Iraq, particularly rocket attacks on Camp Liberty where they were based, before they completely moved to Albania in September 2016. 7/
In the past 15 yrs, regime "ambassadors" in Iraq have been veteran commanders of the Qods Force. No wonder Tehran's top "diplomat" @JZarif boasted that he regularly coordinated all his "activities" with terror master Qassem Soleimani. Time for #terrorist designation of Zarif. 8/
