Published on Jul 30, 2018 In response to U.S. President Trump's recent tweet to Iranian President Rouhani, IRGC Qods Force Commander General Qasem Soleimani warned "Trump the gambler" that "You may start the war, but we will be the ones to determine its end.” In a speech delivered on July 26 in the city of Hamedan, General Soleimani said that Trump's rhetoric was "that of a bartender or a casino manager" and warned him that "we are near you in places that you can't even imagine. We are a nation of martyrdom." His speech aired on Iran's Channel 5.
This guy was the handpicked general that the current ayatollah has relied upon for operations across the Mideast for decades. Wherever Iran decided to make trouble, this guy was there, doling it out.
Now the ayatollah has to make do with the generals he has never really trusted before.
