Martyrs are always alive, even if they have physically ceased to exist, since they were killed for their unflinching faith in God Almighty, their selfless service to the betterment of humanity, and their relentless struggle against terrorists, whether non state or state actors.

On the contrary the cowards who unmanly murdered them, or ordered their assassination, and were involved in their killing, are eternally accursed, with the fires of Hell awaiting them, even if for the time being they happen to enjoy life by hiding behind thick security screens.

It is the blood of martyrs that ensures immortality to the ideology of the nation or nations, in whose defence they sacrificed their life.

This is fully evident in the spectacular progress of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the face of intense and intricate plots of the archenemy of humanity (US), whose hands are stained with the blood of hundreds of thousands of Iranians – unmanly murdered by agents of the Pahlavi regime, by the Ba’thist forces of Saddam, by the MKO terrorists, by the dastardly Takfiris, by the Zionist criminals, and by the Americans themselves.

The prime Iranian victim of Washington is without the least doubt Qassem Soleimani, the deft diplomat and brilliant military strategist, who was assassinated along with his heroic colleague, Iraq’s Abu Mahdi al-Mohandis, during a peace mission to Iraq.

His killers are definitely living on borrowed time and even if Donald Trump, Mike Pompeo and their accomplices in his murder, manage to escape the noose of the hangman or the bullets of revolutionary gunmen for a few more years, they are destined for horrible punishment.

As the symbol of service to humanity, Qassem Soleimani lives on. His ideas inspire not just the Iranian people, but conscientious persons all over the world on the six continents although the hegemonic regimes in the western part of Europe, the northern half of North America, and the mini continent of Australia, shudder at the very mention of his name.

In Latin America General Soleimani is a household name as is evident by the rich tributes being paid to him by leaders and people of the independent nations.

On Wednesday President Daniel Ortega of Nicaragua during his joint press conference in Managua with Hojjat al-Islam Seyyed Ibrahim Raisi following the warm multitudinous public welcome of his Iranian guest, while condemning the cowardly US assassination of Qassem Soleimani, declared a minute of silence in honour of the icon of anti-terrorism, and hailed his services to humanity.

A day earlier in Caracas, President Nikolas Maduro acclaimed the role of Qassem Soleimani in inspiring the fight against terrorists and terroristic regimes – such as the US – and disclosed the plan to erect a statue of the Iranian general at the tomb of the father of Latin American revolutionaries, Simon Bolivar in the Venezuelan capital.
