TEHRAN (Dispatches) – Iran’s ambassador to Britain has praised the role of the commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC)’s Quds Force Major General Soleimani in Iraq’s recapture of Mosul as "unparalleled”.
"The liberation of Mosul not only means the biggest defeat of Daesh over the last three years, but also represents a major development in the Iraqi and Syrian war against Daesh,” Hamid Baeedinejad said in a post on social media.
The diplomat added that Major General Soleimani has undoubtedly played an unparalleled role in the major development.
"When Major General Soleimani shouldered the responsibility of an advisory mission in Iraq at the request of the country’s government, Daesh was only 60 kilometers away from Baghdad and considering capturing the city,” he wrote.
