Reunited

The photograph shows Qasem Soleimani delivering a speech at the 10th anniversary commemoration of the mysterious 2008 death of Hezbollah senior official Imad Mughniyeh in Damascus (that's Mughniyeh's image on the podium). There are certain similarities in the eventual demise of both men, and Soleimani's speech certainly had some hints that he knew he might eventually go the same way. He concluded --

"The enemy knows, but must be serious about the retribution of Imad Mughniyah not to shoot missiles and kill one, the retribution of these bloods is the destruction of the Zionist regime and the enemy knows that this is a divine promise that will surely come true."

Whether these were his final instructions to the Iranian government remains to be seen.
