Soleimani Was In Iraq In An Official Diplomatic Capacity

[Cletus]

And what does that say? Soleimani is mentioned once and it's simply pointing to him as an individual that needs to cooperate with the guidelines of nuclear non-proliferation, inspections and monitoring by the IAEA. Nothing about him not being able to leave Iran, being a terrorist, etc.

He is specified as being prohibited from leaving Iran. I posted his specific citation earlier in this thread. In a later post, either in this thread or one of the others on the same subject, I posted a link to the UN Security Council page that contains the entire alphabetized list of Iranians prohibited by UN sanction from leaving the country.

The list is HERE

No problem.

So he was there to promote peace negotiations with Saudi Arabia over the war in Yemen. He had to die. God forbid Trump should have to find new customers for the bombs MBS is dropping on donkey farmers there!

I'm genuinely interested in keeping this conversation going so I'm going to ask you in all honesty to keep this civil. Given our history I'm not entirely convinced either of us can however; am asking that we do for the sake of my learning more about this.

I looked into your statement that we had sanctions on Soleimani but couldn't find anything. Can you expand on that statement?

Sure thing.....I will get you a couple of links.


Flashback: Obama Sanctioned Soleimani for Attempted Terror Attack in Washington, DC....


As the U.S. Treasury explained in announcing the sanctions against Soleimani and four others in 2011:



The U.S. Department of the Treasury today announced the designation of five individuals, including four senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Qods Force (IRGC-QF) officers connected to a plot to assassinate the Saudi Arabian Ambassador to the United States Adel Al-Jubeir, while he was in the United States and to carry out follow-on attacks against other countries’ interests inside the United States and in another country. As part of today’s action, Treasury also designated the individual responsible for arranging the assassination plot on behalf of the IRGC-QF.


As IRGC-QF Commander, Qasem Soleimani oversees the IRGC-QF officers who were involved in this plot. Soleimani was previously designated by the Treasury Department under E.O. 13382 based on his relationship to the IRGC. He was also designated in May 2011 pursuant to E.O. 13572, which targets human rights abuses in Syria, for his role as the Commander of the IRGC-QF, the primary conduit for Iran’s support to the Syrian General Intelligence Directorate (GID).


Under Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran, Soleimani was to be removed from international sanctions after eight years, though then-Secretary of State John Kerry promised that sanctions against Soleimani would be in place “forever.”.....snip~
