It was a few days before news of Haj Soleimani’s assassination that I recall speaking of him to a friend. I even went so far as to call him the shadow commander just as many have before, remarking that he was a man who stood firmly against oppression and US hegemony in the Middle East. But only after his martyrdom, whereby his name and virtue will now live forever, do we see that his vision was one which many have come to hold around the world.
It is in the eyes of those mourning, as seen in the above video, where you can feel the shock and misery inflicted on ordinary humans who saw in Soleimani a figure of strength, power, and dignity. These are values that every Persian holds. VP Pence is due to lay out the US’s policy vis-a-vis Iran on Monday. The outcome of a potential retaliation may be seen shortly thereafter.
