Qassem Soleimani in Iraq<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In an unprecedented admission, Nader Talebzadeh, head of the \u201cNew Horizon\u201d organization, a front organization of the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC<\/a>) and its Quds Force<\/a>, has revealed how Iran\u2019s eliminated terror master Qassem Soleimani \u201cused Improvised Explosive Device (IED)\u201d bombs to target American forces in Iraq.<\/p>\n

Talebzadeh, who was so-called interviewing a member of the terrorist Quds Force, called Soleimani \u201cThe Shadow Commander.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWho made so much trouble for them [American troops]? It was the same commander of shadows. Who trained [the regime\u2019s terrorist proxy groups] and used the tactic of using roadside bombs, who were like stones? The Americans called these bombs IEDs. I remember how disturbed they were, how the U.S. media reflected this disturbance in 2003, after the U.S. occupied Iraq. Who disturbed them? Whose Idea was it? The IED is the abbreviation of Improvised Explosive Device, meaning inventory explosions, so the target couldn\u2019t recognize whether it was a bomb or a stone. The target would pass this object, then, for example its Humvee, its tank would blow away. We saw the footages, but whose terrifying shadow was behind it, who devastated them? One day we should make films about it, and all other works he [Soleimani] had done. One of them was the IED in Iraq, for which the Americans continued blaming Iran and the Quds Force<\/a>. This was one of his little initiatives to make Iraq unsafe for the Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n

Talebzadeh also acknowledged that the regime\u2019s terrorist threat persists despite Soleimani\u2019s elimination, and the regime is behind the recent attacks on the U.S. embassy in Iraq.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmericans are still struggling with [the regime\u2019s terrorism]. They are mobilizing forces because they are not safe, they are now in Baghdad\u2019s green zone to be safe. But they are not safe there too,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

On January 3, 2020, a U.S.-led airstrike targeted a convoy exiting the Baghdad International Airport, killing Soleimani.<\/p>\n

Talebzadeh\u2019s remarks once again proves the Iranian Resistance revelation of the Iranian regime\u2019s devastating role in the Middle East, particularly Iraq.<\/p>\n

Who was Soleimani?<\/h3>\n

The National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI<\/a>) published an article on January 5, 2020, entitled as \u201cWho was vicious criminal Qassem Soleimani<\/a>,\u201d revealing damning details of Soleimani\u2019s role in using the IED bombs to target Iranian opposition members and the Coalition forces in Iraq.<\/p>\n

\u201cSoleimani and his proxy groups in Iraq and Afghanistan were behind the flow of IEDs to Iraq and Afghanistan. The devastating IEDs were used extensively during the war in Iraq between 2003 and 2011, and it is called the number one killer of the war. In April 2019, the Pentagon announced that Iran is to blame for 17 percent of all U.S. service personnel deaths between 2003 and 2011,\u201d read the article.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe sophisticated IEDs were secretly manufactured in Iran\u2019s military industry factories under the order of Quds force and were distributed in Iraq and Afghanistan. Later Iran\u2019s military factories manufactured a more powerful and deadlier roadside bomb called explosively formed projectiles (EFPs). EFPs were built under a confidential order by the Quds Force in Iran. Explosively formed projectiles were advanced improvised explosive devices that were harder to detect, could penetrate thicker armor and be more lethal than traditional IEDs. The National Council of Resistance of Iran revealed the exact location of the factories on July 25, 2006, and 29 January 2009,\u201d the NCRI revealed.<\/p>\n

Soleimani was behind targeting members of the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK<\/a>) in Iraq.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Quds force developed the \u201cImprovised Explosive Device (IED)\u201d to target MEK convoys in Iraq in the 90s. By the end of 2002 over 12 roadside bombs, including IEDs and car bombs were used against MEK convoys, causing death and injury of tens of MEK members. One of the worst attacks was carried out on June 9, 1999. A roadside bomb was detonated alongside the Baghdad-Khalis road as a bus full of MEK members was passing, causing the death of six passengers and the injury of 21 others. Also, several local Iraqi cars were damaged, an Iraqi bypasser was killed and many others were injured,\u201d wrote the NCRI in this regard.<\/p>\n
