Tehran 05January_One day after the assassination of Iranian Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani, the dailies across the country reacted to the tragic loss of one of the most admired figures in Iran, a man regarded as a “hero” and a symbol of national and religious pride.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club(YJC)-Writing for the Tehran-based Kayhan newspaper on Saturday, Iranian foreign policy expert close to Soleimani, Sadollah Zarei, wrote that the general was known for his “captivating personality” of an austere military tactician who had a passionate and caring character.
Zarei added that it was his self-less personality which had allowed him to gain trust and achieve success in countries such as Lebanon, Syria and Iraq.
The foreign policy expert added that the assassination held little strategic value as Washington grows increasingly isolated in Iraq and the region facing a “huge front” of independent “groups, governments and organizations” who seek to resist US hegemony.
Hossein Shariatmadari, the editor-in-chief of Kayhan, also wrote in a separate article that all conditions were set for a “harsh revenge” against the Americans.
