Brigadier General Qassem Suleimani (born March 11, 1957) is the commander of Quds Force, a division of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Suleimani helped arrange a ceasefire between the Iraqi Army and Mahdi Army in March 2008.
In 2009, a leaked report stated that General Suleimani met Christopher R. Hill and Raymond T. Odierno (America’s two most senior officials in Baghdad at the time) in the office of Iraq’s president, Jalal Talabani (who has known General Suleimani for decades). Mr. Hill and General Odierno denied the occurrence of the meeting.
