Soleimani, who headed the Quds Force, the foreign operations arm of Iran's Revolutionary Guards, was killed on January 3, 2020 in Iraq in a US drone strike at Baghdad airport along with his Iraqi lieutenant and others.
On Wednesday morning, a statue to honour him was unveiled in Hazrat Qamarbani Hashem Square in the southwestern Iranian city of Shahrekord.

I’m sure if there’s a Trump statue in the US, same thing would happen.
If the Ayatollahs and their lackeys, the IRGC, can find the arsonists they will execute them. Common knowledge.
But that they would try knowing the consequences and is happening with increasing frequency should give the ayatollahs pause.
Are some of them looking for the exits, a ratline to Argentina or Venezuela? An worried IRGC member might volunteer to be an adviser in Maduro's Venezuela. It would get them out of Iran incase it blew up. Looking for the exits being frowned upon, if you were off doing 'good' work for the regime, you could be at the exit without being a regime or populace target. Maybe the CIA could recruit them. That is if they know how to do anything besides recruit Italian ambassadors, Australian ambassadors or MI6 to do something besides spy on Trump. BIG IF!
People have torn/burned down statues of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglas down in the US just as the campus Marxists taught them to.
So....
LOL This story got my early weekend off to a great start.
Maybe they got some Antifa people over there to show them how it's done.
Ooooohhhh no. He was such a nice man.
Good start mankind. Now torch the whiskers on the rest of the power hungry holy crowd of frauds in the region.
Look at the words used in this news story. The statue, presumable made of metal or stone, both non combustible materials, was "torched". So what happened exactly? Was gasoline splashed over the statue and then set on fire? Did it do anything but cosmetic damage? Stupid news media, they apparently only report what they are told to report, with zero curiosity.
what was the damage done?
Good keep it up all statue's
