Brigadier General Qassem Suleimani (born March 11, 1957) is the commmander of Quds Force, a division of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. He is listed by the United States as a terrorist, which forbids U.S. citizens from doing business with him. In March 2007, he was included on a list of Iranian individuals targeted with sanctions in United Nations Security Council Resolution 1747. Suleimani helped arrange a ceasefire between the Iraqi Army and Mahdi Army in March 2008.
