Top Iran general backs Rouhani’s threat to disrupt oil supplies over US sanctions
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA top Iranian general who oversees the Islamic Republic’s overseas military efforts throws his support behind President Hassan Rouhani’s threat to disrupt oil shipments from Middle East countries if the US implements a total ban on Iran’s oil exports.
“I kiss your (Rouhani’s) hand for expressing such wise and timely comments, and I am at your service to implement any policy that serves the Islamic Republic,” Qassem Soleimani writes in a letter published by the official IRNA news agency, according to Radio Farda.
Soleimani heads the Quds Force, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps unit tasked with providing aid and materiel to regional militias and terror groups such as Hezbollah and Hamas.
