TO his allies he was a charismatic blend of James Bond, Nazi general Erwin Rommel and Lady Gaga “rolled into one”.with the blood of thousands on his hands — including British troops.
That war has now taken another life — Major General Soleimani — said to be Iran’s second most powerful man after its Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.So who was this man who came to be likened to the Scarlet Pimpernel and crime lord Keyser Soze in the film The Usual Suspects?was born into a farming family in impoverished Rabor, Iran, in 1957.
He joined the Revolutionary Guards shortly after it was formed in 1979 and rose through the ranks during the eight-year Iran-Iraq War that left as many as a million dead.THE Quds Force is a 20,000-strong special-ops warfare unit in Iran’s Revolutionary Guard.Quds was linked to the murder of four Brits in Baghdad in 2007.
In 1998, he took command of the Quds Force that specialised in assassinations, arming allies, and later overseeing attacks against coalition troops in Iraq.It would fight for control across the so-called Shiite Crescent — a sweep of terrain with large numbers of Shia Muslims — from Iran through Iraq and Syria to Lebanon.
He and his forces played an important role in fighting IS in Iraq. His popularity grew in Iran and he became the subject of TV documentaries and pop songs. He even made Time magazine’s 100 most influential people list in 2017. Instead, this attack might spell the beginning of the end for the savage regime that has ruled Iran since 1979.
Holy shit.
Alot of News organization are forgetting how to journalism today...and they wonder why they're called fake news
Which of them had their limbs blown off? He's nothing but worm food.
What?!! IWiIlkaga UwantSomaThis BlueFox94
He was Larry, Curly and Mo .. all in one!
You can no longer convince me that msm is not in on these efforts to make the left look absolutely insane. No sane person would write this headline. They’re all in on it right l? Right?
British media in 2020.. Would love to know what drugs they took prior to writing this..
Never heard of “The Sun”. This is probably why.
Sorry for your loss!
...
sends Oliver OllieSun the wrong photo
He wasnt a general he was a dang terrorist and for you people in the media to take go for him also makes you an enemy as well
Wtaf
WTF is wrong with you?
You guys sending a wreath?
I’m so sorry this is happening to you
More like Genghis Kahn, Hitler and Obama.
So he had great tits, a drinking problem, and was inept at desert warfare?
Someone is stoned at the sun.
Those are definitely words. And this does appear to be a sentence. There's names and comma's. Yet, I'm still trying to digest what exactly it is that I'm reading... Is it a movie preview... Is it a bad acid trip... Who knows. Let's just see how this one plays out.
Put the crack pipe down weirdo
You ppl are insane.
Is this a satire account or real?
Rommel was ‘The Desert Fox’. This guy was ‘The Goat Thief’ lol.
He was also Matt Helm, Communist Mao and Cher.
Best iranalogy yet
What a rag
Wow. Just wow. 🤦♂️
Delete your account
Sorry for your loss Seems like it was a doozy
This American agrees. Your British commenters have no standing. Iran can't be bothered with your 'Mouse that Roared' country.
JFC
THIS IS WHY THE MEDIA IS HATED.
This is a disgraceful headline. Tacky and tasteless.
Terrorist was put down like a sick animal.
“Journalism”
Sounds like The Sun had a girl crush on a terrorist. You guys must be in mourning....
This is the media digging its grave 6 feet deeper.
Delete your account
I still think this is a parody account
Even Lady Gaga?🤣🤡🤣
Make him transgender and it will be a grandslam
What
NOT GAGA 😭😭😭
did he have bad makeup too?
What’s the difference between him and realDonaldTrump?
Arse-spraying gibberish
LADY GAGA-
Not entirely sure that's factual
This might be the stupidest version of this propaganda, and yes I’m including the Marvel gifs guy.
why do you love endless war in the middle east?
Ok, boomer.
Shut up
what in the heck is this
Don’t blame the General; he was Born This Way..
I was expecting a Johnny English/Mr. Bean ish title photo there. Would've suited the heading and the waste of an article this.
The absolute state of British journalism.
Can join the rest of the most evil men that ever lived in HELL
James Bond is the good guy
That description sounds more like Corporal Bonespurs than an actual military man.
Remember when you guys literally supported the Nazis?
So, suave but retrograde sex-symbol, effective commander respected by both sides and ... gay icon?
murdoch bullshit
kind of sounds like you want to sit on his face
Lady Gaga?
TRULY_RELAXED SAY THE LINE
Rommel was hardly a Nazi! He was an Officer and Gentleman in the Wehrmart, not the political side of State enforcement!!
y'all were already cancelled but I guess why not nail the last nail in your coffin
How on God's isn't as green anymore earth does the Sun still exist.
soleimani banged bradley cooper
Did you even know who he was last year?
🤣😂🤣😂 this headline has made my day
And Mary Berry
You guys should get Nobel peace award for brainstorming people
Gonna go on a limb and say you shouldnt be lumping a fictional movie spy, a war criminal, and a pop star together
Amazing how stupid some british people are to buy your stuff. Imagine going throu the educational system to become a “journalist” and tweeting this.
Sure, Jan
I'm surprised Trump hasn't ordered a hit on them already.
Any time I think American media is trash, I remember that this is how much of the world sees British media.
You didn't even know he existed before yesterday.
Oh really ? And you know this man how? Oh he had a fling with your mother.
Is this a real headline from a real newspaper
Nazi Erwin Rommel as oppose to... non-Nazi Erwin Rommel?
Gaga?
Shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up
Bullshit, if he was that evil you would already have published a glowing profile calling him a 'disruptor'
Why is ladygaga thrown in the mix? I need to read this article. Saving it.
Stop bullshitting
Desperate for clicks much?
Why Gaga💀
What? I'm guessing 2 out of 3 of these people (if one were nonfictional) would seriously object to this, uh, haze induced comparison. The hell type of drugs are you doing?
He does kind of resemble a younger Sean Connery
What the fuck did Lady Gaga do to you?
WTactualF is wrong with you?
How? Just how?
What the fuck did Lady Gaga do
is... is that good or bad?
The fuck is this
He’s in the shallow now that’s for sure.
Mostly Nazi though
cc ladygaga
LADY GAGA!
“journalism”
Wtf 😂😂
Delete your account.
The Sun is published by the News Group Newspapers division of News UK, itself a wholly owned subsidiary of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. In case you were wondering why this preposterous propaganda was concocted.
WTF
sounds pretty awesome
Oh snap
Wait you’re supposed to make him sound bad
Is this an elementary school newspaper run by 5th graders?
Where can I stream this movie?
nottheonion
British and American will someday leave this world with so many blood on their hands too, including Iraqi and Syrian soldiers. He was a soldier trained to kill for fuck sake, just as British and American soldiers were trained to kill. Claiming moral high ground is pathetic.😢
You post cringe
From the article it's clear that: -When non-western countries engage in war it's tErRoRiSm -Soleimani is no different than any one of our generals who commits atrocities -There's no valid reason to have assassinated him to start a war -Lots of US propaganda in the article
Jero corbinator would still have a go
OllieSun Hey knucklehead, what's this tomfoolery?
Please keep yourself to reporting what expired celebrity got wasted last night.
*imagines what artistic outfit he will wear to a conference*
So what your saying is president Trump played them all like a dog eared deck of cards?
Wow! If that's the case, I wonder why you haven't been running front-page stories about him for years! Or is it because your ancient, dribbling, teen-porn obsessed owner had never heard of Soleimani before this week?
Dr No-vocal chords,A haaaaaa! cockpiss partridge cooganisacorbynwanker
this is a brilliant parody of the media's response
Not sure ladygaga will be pleased with this comparison
Dan Wootton at it again
I'd be fucking pissed if I was ladygaga
Interesting mash up 🤔👌
But how dope would it be if he wasn’t the nazi part
The Sun attempts to describe complex geopolitical narrative to a school child. I’m only surprised that they didn’t use the “kablow!” graphics from the original Batman series.
Shutdafuggup
The fuck is this mad libs headline?
And so the pro-Trump, populist propoganda begins.
Keep seeing PaulHollywood
Yep. I'm calling it. The person who wrote this headline sniffed glue before typing it.
'DON'T READ THE SUN, IT WILL GIVE YOU CANCER!'
guaranteed no one at The Sun had heard of this guy two days ago
Your propaganda won't work. But... What?
Maybe Cummings could use the hack that wrote this, he said he wanted weirdos
lol ok
Is there anyone working for the Sun with working marbles?
this is gibberish
Did the person who write this headline huff glue?
Did the person who wrote this headline huff glue?
Get the fck outta here
I'm surprised they haven't added Raheem Sterling on that list.
So how come you never talked about him before?
No one believes you’re real journalism
General Soleimani was one of the men most responsible for defeating ISIS in Iraq and Syria. So unless you’re an ISIS supporter, you should stop spewing National Security State propaganda.
this is the stupidest fucking thing anyone has ever tweet and there used to be a guy on here who called himself dildo hitler
Oh please... You guys didn't even know him until the orange man killed him to up his polls for re-election
Wow you got a sinister-looking photo of him he must he a bad guy want to come to my birthday party next week I'm turning 7
Erwin Rommel wasn't a Nazi.
James Bond didn’t get assassinated
He was the devil's work and he will meet his maker the devil himself
This guy was so evil you've never run a news story about him before....
Still not as bad as GretaThunberg , the real terrorist. I wonder if she keeps an eye to the sky now 😂 Sarcasm
He was Austin Powers, Dr. Evil, and Wayne from Wayne’s World in one man. All three of Charlie’s Angels, Japanese war criminal doctor Shiro Ishii, and Ludacris rolled together. Scooby Doo, Henry Kissinger, and Cardi B in one tight package.
sounds pretty cool
Sounds more like Trump
This shit sucks.
Damn then clearly you guys aren't good at your jobs since you've never done a story on him before!
Soleimani suffered from schizophrenia?
this is just incoherent rambling
Funny that you've never mentioned him before, since apparently he's fucking box office DYNAMITE
Normally the U.S. would send out talking points about a guy before assassinating him, but I guess boomers are just an incredibly lazy, entitled generation if this is their half-assed excuse for propaganda.
When this is all over, we'll see to it that all you war pigs get tried at Nuremberg just like your predecessors
Not gonna give this a click but I’m very curious to see how the hell Lady Gaga comes into the picture
Oh, that's why you've been writing about him so much.
If he was any of those things you’d have written about him before I suspect.
Who's the idiot that wrote this headline? Have that broad out by tomorrow noon
If he was all that then how tf did 99% of the world not know about him till two days ago
So then why was your first ever article on him only after he died?
While corporate 'media' parrots the hegemony of death 🇺🇸. Other corporate 'media' questions whether the hegemony of death has a 'strategy'. No one points out the obvious: It's a zionist controlled hegemony of death which has lied and lies about everything.
Is this fucking scrabble?
come on man. are you 8
Wow... just moronical.
Weird that you never reported on him until now.
You're first ever tweet on Soleimani and it's Whopper
What bollocks.
Are you really trying to make him look evil by comparing him to a super popular movie character, a respected German general who tried to kill Hitler and a Pop star who all little girls love? Seriously!?
I only ever see the Sun in my timeline when it's yet again being berated for its trash attempts at journalism. boycottthesun
We can see why Liverpool has had the goid sense to boycott this shite for 30 years. Not that we needed any more evidence, just continued confirmatio.
CourtneySoliday Get this garbage off my TL
So evil that no one heard of him until yesterday
VERY disappointed in u, The Sun. your normally high and rigorous journalistic standards have been betrayed!! i will be rescinding all of my massive donations for the expert work you did on timing the amount of screen time for each celeb's feet in once upon a time in hollywood!!!
Lady Gaga? Was his 'meat suit' made of the 'human shields' zionists are on about?
He's the most evil man in the world yet your paper only tweets about him until after he's assassinated. So either: 1. Your paper doesn't report important news. 2. You are lying now. Which is it?
leave gaga out of this
This headline is a war crime
What are you on about? This is just a mash of words.
The Sun didn't even know who this great person who defeated ISIS was. A real bunch of incompetent fools do work at The Sun.
And yet this is the first time you've ever tweeted about him.
sounds like a cool dude
what da fuck r u talking about
Could you please link me to previous Sun articles on this criminal mastermind? I'm dying to read all of that early insight stuff that I'm dead sure must exist.
The evils of . . . Liberating two countries from ISIS gets you an incoherent headline from the Sun. Got it
did he have a big dick too
You'd never heard him before his death.
If he had been Erwin Rommel, right wing British tabloids would have supported him
The Lady Gaga of terrorism. You think you know a guy
Lady Gaga?
what
omfg this is just too much
Source: Aryan Unity
that's some poor darts
Are you six years old
the absolute state of this clown paper
Can't wait for the revolution when gen sec Corbyn gulags you all
If he was all that why didn’t y’all mention him not even a couple days ago?
oh for real
Aren’t you kind of embarrassed writing shit like this?
eat my ass
You can still delete this
I want to try all the drugs that lead to this headline. Please. I'm desperate.
2/3 of those people are cool as fuck
Ok boomer
What is wrong with the British press?
The English shouldn’t be allowed to use the internet, or at least the internet that the rest of the normal people of the world use
Did you pick a bunch of names out of a hat to write this headline?
an adult with a fully developed brain wrote this, and published it
So crazy that all this is only being written after he's killed. How is this any different from character assassinations US police do after they kill someone?
Journalism
No Matter how you paint him; US orchestrated a senseless premeditated terrorist attack on a leader of a sovereign nation. This just about puts em at par with Crown Prince MBS & his murder of Jamal Kashogghi relegating US to a state sponsor of terror & its military a terror outfit
They are not afraid.
American peoples elect terrorists and killers and liars as their presidents-- yet is the nation Uncivilized ?
Sun Journos should refrain from metaphorically linking the deceased General Soleimani to James Bond .Cease glorifying an assassin.Karma caught up with paraphrase “Those who live by the sword meet their maker for heinous crimes carried in drone take outs.”
Donal Trump and the EEUU have big balls and England?
I would have said Anthony Blunt, Vlad the Impaler and Rihanna, but whatevs, you do you.
Curious as to why you even used the Lady Gaga reference wtf is that all about
The killer was killed. World will be more peaceful without Qasem Soleimani .
Way to prop up a subhuman
