Hawzah News Agency –Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance, Mehdi Esmaeli, speaking in the conference titled "Commemoration of the second anniversary of the martyrdom of General Haj Qasem Soleimani: Defender of freedom, security and peaceful life of followers of religions" said: All kinds of violence and various crimes are freely propagated by virtual networks, but the name and image of Soleimani is censored.
According to the Public Relations Department of the Islamic Culture and Relations Organization (ICRO), Mr. Esmaeli said in our country, these days are named after the dear daughter of the Prophet of Islam and we spend the days of the martyrdom of Hazrat Fatemeh Zahra (PBUH). At the same time, today coincides with the martyrdom of a great man who in recent years, and especially in light of what has happened in the region since 2011, as a national hero and a regional and international myth, respected by all Iranian citizens, Muslims and followers of different religions.
He stated Martyr Haj Qasem Soleimani was one of the real educated members of the school of the Islamic Revolution and the late Imam Khomeini (RA), a selfless person, free, brave and pure. All the qualities that can be mentioned for an ideal person a hero and a myth, were manifested in this great character.
Referring to the conspiracy hatched for the Middle East, Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance said all analysts who are following the recent developments acknowledge that a strange conspiracy has been hatched and that a full-blown and endless civil war has been conspired; the strategy of sectarian and religious wars is such that when they start, there is no end to it, and we have been witnessed to clashes between Muslims with Muslims and followers of different religions, which we witnessed in a savage terrorist group like ISIS.
He added: "The asked, is it possible for a terrorist group to grow in an area where the United States has spread all its military bases?" So, we should realize that they themselves supported and strengthened these groups. You even saw in the US election debates in 2016 that it was clearly stated that ISIL was a project of the US and the Zionists to undermine peace of the region and launch fratricide; A project that had dirty oil money behind it and evil forces all joined hands.
The Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance pointed out: The greatness of Martyr Soleimani’s work was that he abrupted d this evil project in the region; they wanted to make the region insecure forever and to develop wars inside it, but Haj Qasem emerged as a defender of the freedom of the people and the citizens, and he defeated the project and revealed the true face of the supporters of this group to everyone. However, you can see that the then President of the United States, in spite of all the obligations of international law, in an obvious terrorist act, martyred the official guest of the Iraqi government at the international airport of the country. In fact, Haj Qasem was so great that they could no longer bear him, and openly displayed their savage temperament all over the world.
