NCRI - On Thursday, Brig. Gen. Mahmoud Farhadi was arrested by the U.S. forces in the Palace Hotel in Soleimanieh, Iraq. He is one of the most ruthless Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps-Quds Force commanders.
Farhadi currently is the Deputy Commander and senior intelligence officer of Quds Force's Zafar Tactical Base in Karmanshah. The main base is called Ramadan which has four tactical bases along the 1,200 kilometers border with Iraq. Zafar is located in the western city of Karmanshah overseeing the entire Quds Forces' operations in the eastern and central Iraq.
Local sources confirmed that a delegation from Iran was in Iraqi Kurdistan presumably for signing a few contracts with the Kurdish officials to facilitate cross border trading between the two neighbors.
The Iranian Ambassador to Iraq, Hassan Kazemi-Qomi on Saturday rushed in to clean up Farhadi's tracks to the Quds Force and Zafar Base by saying, "They [U.S. forces] have arrested the deputy governor of Karmanshah province who was on an official visit to Kurdistan for promoting regional commercial ties."
No matter what the mullahs claim, Farhadi is one of the most important commanders of the Quds Force in Iraq.
