An independent Islamic army of 400,000 strong forces ready to defend the region is the result of General Soleimani endeavors.

Sa’ad-ullah Zare’ei, political expert on Middle East region in an interview with Taqrib News Agency (TNA) related on the unifying role of Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani in the region hailing his efforts to activate the potential capabilities of countries in the region.
 
He said,” Owed to General Soleimani struggles, regional countries Iraq, Lebanon, Yemen, Syria, Afghanistan and Pakistan are capable enough to defend themselves against foreign threats.”
 
The political commentator added,” If regional countries maintain their solidarity, they can defend the world of Islam against world arrogant powers” hailing the assassinated IRGC Commander of Quds Force for efforts to launch an independent Islamic army of 400,000 forces to defend the region.
 
“In my view Iran’s attack on Ain al-Assad air base was a severe hit to American forces though the greater damage was inflicted on their prominence” he stressed and added,” One could also say that it was not the revenge for one drop of General Soleimani’s blood.”
 
He vowed endeavors of the resistance axis to continue.
