Sulaimani's UN Photo Background
The Iranian delegation at the United Nations General Assembly left a picture of Qasem Soleimani, the former commander of the Quds Force who was assassinated in 2020, on their seats at the start of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech. The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson explained that the purpose of this act was to remind attendees of the martyr’s significance and to thwart any attempts to tarnish his image, viewing it as a message of continuity to preserve Soleimani’s memory and reaffirm his status. This move came amid escalating tensions between Iran and Israel, coinciding with a collective withdrawal of several delegations during Netanyahu’s speech, in which he threatened to destabilize the Iranian regime. He demanded that everyone leave the hall if they did not agree with his stance.
