Zeinab Soleimani (Persian: زینب سلیمانی; born in 1991) is the daughter of Qassem Soleimani, an Iranian military officer in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) who was assassinated by the United States in 2020.[1][2][3]
Life[edit]
Soleimani manages the Qassem Soleimani Foundation[4] and studied political science at Shahid Beheshti University.[5]
In a speech in Kerman, Soleimani claimed that "thousands and thousands of Soleimanis" are ready to march on the White House.[6] In a broadcast on state television during her father's funeral, Soleimani warned the US and Israel of repercussions for the assassination of her father.[7]
In June 2020, shortly after her father was killed, she married Reza Safi Al Din, the son of Shia Cleric Hashim Safi Al Din, the second leader of Hezbollah in Lebanon.[8][9][10] In November 2021, Soleimani launched a program that gifts money and donated $2 million to encourage Lebanese girls to marry Hezbollah militants and promote Mutah (temporary/pleasure marriage).[11][12] In 2022, it was alleged that Soleimani was granted Lebanese citizenship. However, Lebanese President Michel Aoun has denied such allegation and it is unknown if Soleimani has ever requested Lebanese citizenship.[13][14] In January 2022, Soleimani came into the spotlight after a photo of her holding an IPhone 13 Pro Max, an American product, was shared online following a statement Soleimani (and Manar al-Muhandis, daughter of Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis) made on the death anniversary of her father in Baghdad demanding revenge against the US for killing her father, leading to charges of hypocrisy.[15][16]
