Big hitter, the llama. Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei described him as "a living martyr" - that nickname will have to be updated.

On 24 January 2011, Soleimani was promoted to Major General by Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.[28][34] Khamenei is described as having a close relationship with him, helping him financially and has called Soleimani a "living martyr".

Soleimani has been described as "the single most powerful operative in the Middle East today" and the principal military strategist and tactician in Iran's effort to combat Western influence and promote the expansion of Shiite and Iranian influence throughout the Middle East.[25] In Iraq, as the commander of the Quds force, he is believed to have strongly influenced the organization of the Iraqi government, notably supporting the election of previous Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri Al-Maliki.

Soleimani has even been described as being "Iran’s very own Erwin Rommel".

According to some sources, Soleimani is the principal leader and architect of the military wing of the Lebanese Shia party Hezbollah since his appointment as Quds commander in 1998.[25]

And Trump says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathpyre by drone, you will receive total consciousness of just how wrong your drooling imbecile Ayatollah Khamenei is."

So he's got that goin' for him, which is nice.
