Amir Abdollahian said that a lot of his experience was during the time that he \u201ccooperated with Soleimani in the foreign policy domain\u201d and promised to \u201ccontinue Soleimani\u2019s path.\u201d Soleimani was the commander of the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) foreign arm, known as the Quds Force. Soleimani was in charge of the regime\u2019s terrorist activities abroad. He directed the regime\u2019s proxy terrorist groups in the region, including Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Yemen. Soleimani was killed in a drone strike in January 2020 while he was on a secret trip to Iraq. Abdollahian previously served as the Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs under Zarif and had a very close relationship with Soleimani. He has a long history of enabling the regime\u2019s terrorist policies in Iraq and other countries of the region. He was a member of the political-security committee of the Iranian nuclear negotiations team. Amir Abdollahian\u2019s comments come as no surprise. They are a reminder that terrorism and violence is a key pillar of the regime\u2019s diplomacy. In a recent interview, Mohammad Javad Zarif, the foreign minister of former regime president Hassan Rouhani, acknowledged that the IRGC dominates the regime\u2019s policies, especially foreign strategies. Zarif said 98 percent of the regime\u2019s diplomatic achievements, especially in the Middle East, were accomplished by the Quds Force and especially Soleimani.
