Hi - I’m Haley, one of the producers on this video! Here to give some insight into how we put this piece together. It’s a visual explainer that uses visuals of a top Iranian general to analyze a complicated topic - how Iran’s covert Quds Force operates. After Qassim Suleimani was killed in a U.S. airstrike, we combed through hundreds of images and videos of him. We wanted to know more about his unit, the Quds Force. Sightings of Quds Force members are extremely rare, but Suleimani had quite the public persona. So we compiled a spreadsheet of videos and images of Suleimani, going back to the 1980s when he served in the Iran-Iraq War. We noticed that the “shadow commander” really started popping up around 2014, right after ISIS took Mosul. Experts told us that this was on purpose - part of how the Quds Force carefully shaped its narrative around Suleimani. We treated the visuals as evidence, packed with information - we geolocated them to find out where Suleimani was and identified who he was with (whether it be a senior Hezbollah commander or a fighter from the Iraqi militia Harakat Hezbollah al-Nujaba). Weapons and insignia in the visuals act as further clues of Iranian influence. And all of these sightings put together are a unique lens into how the Quds Force operates - through a network of partner and proxy forces along a corridor that stretches from Iran all the way to Lebanon.
But you also lied when you said the Quds force hides behind proxy iran scarified the most soldiers in Syria do you think Syria or Hezbollah or the PMU had enough forces to take on isis which had fighter in the millions Iran scarified tens of thousands of soldiers if not 100s of thousand. Then again what do you expect from America propaganda channel
Iran doesn’t want to be link to the conflict in yemen I’m pretty sure they showed public support for the group I don’t know what your talking about more US propaganda

totally agree... If Iran had invaded canada and Mexico (Iraq and Afghanistan) and set up Military bases all along our borders you best believe America would be funding militias in Canada and Mexico to fight Iranian oppression... its ridiculous how one sided we make everything seem to paint US actions in a good light.

Well yes that is true but the kurds probably did the most work. Also, Iran supports the Assad regime that attacks its own people with posion gas. This is a multi-sided proxy affair... there is no black and white, no good versus evil, everybody has blood on their hands and leaves the region destroyed. War sucks.
Alex The Awesome . The fsa was fighting alongside al qaeda-al Nusra, they are beheading kids for being shia and for loving Bashar, they use god as and excuse everytime just like isis, they are worse than isis, Shut up and learn
So what? Everyone hated isis because they stood with nobody. Just because this guy fought isis doesn’t mean he still isn’t the ringleader of multiple terrorist cells.
The CIA (under the Obama administration) carried out a covert program of training and arming Syrian rebels to fight against the Assad regime. That’s largely what the program achieved, too; but as a result of greed and corruption, some of the weapons supplied to the rebels were sold on to the black market, and some of those ended up in the hands of IS fighters. One could conduct a reasonable debate about the Obama administration’s overall management of the program, its efforts to vet the intermediaries involved, or prevent foreseeable theft or smuggling of the weapons, and so on. But one cannot, based on the facts available, claim that Obama “ordered the CIA to train IS.” He didn’t. Moreover, we know for a fact that he implemented a program that set out to do just the opposite - training and equipping Syrian rebels to fight and destroy IS.
All I heard is "rebel forces this and rebel forces that." You failed to mention that Soleimani was the main force that stopped the spread of isis in Syria and Iraq. If it was not for him isis would have eventually found their way into Lebanon and then Europe.

May God rest the soul of Commander Soleimani He had no money, and he is the second man in Iran I always remember saying I am not a leader, I am a fighter like you God have mercy on you 💔💔
How is this drumming up war? There's nothing conspiratorial about this, Iran's involvement with militias around the region has been well-documented for decades. There was also no judgment in this video, take a look a how they presented his assassination. No moral judgment, just what happened.
Why does the NYT feel it is covert for public displays of military and political leaders in public? Does Iran come to Canada and Mexico to inter fear in the activities of the US?
No one is saying these public meetings were/are covert (although some of this was never meant to be seen, the video explained this). The word covert here applies to the QUDS force, which is indeed a covert spy agency. The entire point of this investigation was to determine how much Suleimani's exposure on social media changed in the past decade. The fact that America interferes in nearly everything is beside the point.
@@devodavis6747 it's propaganda. they try to paint him as some shady militant. while in fact he was a general and his job was not to carry weapons and fight, but to plan offensive/defensive and strategy - that's what generals do.
Do you seriously think Iran has not interfered in US politics? They have played every president since Carter. Including the current Kentucky Fried Caligula.

Why don't you just come to the Middle East and see how your USA is guarding fascist systems in countries that will probably send you to places worse than the gulags just because you mentioned something about people's rights. You have no idea how bad it is to live under the regime of USA in these countries, cause you're simply watching UA-cam all the way from the other side of the world, making judgements based on a UA-cam video that is helping the western propaganda.

@@eyadalallan8023 The middle east is ruled by nothing more than religious zealots - history can tell you how that ends. The religion of "peace" hasnt seen it in 1000 years.
@@WatcherGate Yeah, but here's the thing, people don't want to be ruled by religion or religious people anymore. The common thing in Jordan for example, is that we all hate religious people. We either call them frauds or pedophiles. I believe that there will be a vicious war against Islam, but not by America and its allies.
now that would be a more sensible video to put out so that the American people would be able to see for themselves the level of hatred against them; maybe if that happened, we would see a rising-up in the US and a demand to stop these illegal wars; wars for oil, and the thing about it is: the bounty is going into the pockets of the elite, not the rank and file.
As an Iranian , we celebrated his death . Our money wasted for terrorism not our poor people . We are peaceful people but taken hostage by this tyrannical government . Thanks Trump
@@ruru6881 I agree with you on the fact that Iranian government is too strict on everything but Soleimani was also the key force of defeating ISIS in Syria
@@0xrobot760 Syrian here, the Iranian militias actually were more engaged in fighting the Rebels than actual ISIS territory. The ones that did the most and captured ISIS controlled land is the USA and it's allies. Plus, ISIS killed faaaaar less civilians than the bombardment done by Russia, Iran and the Syrian regime. As much as we hated ISIS, it was actually less detrimental to civilian lives. Go see the Aleppo bombings, the Ghouta chemical warcrimes. Not a fan of Trump, but an American president did us a good thing for once.
It means you they did what they wanted to do, confusing you. Confusing you between news that truth and lie be mix to you can't get that you want. To know what is truth you need to see who saying the news. God bless Internet now u able to see and learn who create isis, taleban, Al ghaede, even they say it them self. US, UK and isreal, got hand in this crime, and Saudi who must protect this people but go shake hand with whom who killed and bombing children. When Solaimani and his followers ever blow themselves in market. This you have to see. This is not iranian doctrine of shee'a. Also go look and study who created Wahabi in Saudi. Who are they. Its not hard to find the right info you just get little sharper to see it
Correction: Al-Muhandis was the leader of "Popular Mobilization Forces" PMF or "الحشد الشعبي". Although "Kataib Hezbollah" of Iraq is joined at the hips with PMF.
The single most effective force against Daesh killed by US illustrates what? Strange bedfellows? Not necessarily. Iranian foreign minister Zarif's epic remark on Soleimani killing.
ATG IMM But oil in a way is losing demand since it’s not the only source of energy. Mining spots are where the money will turn and China will have the first hand whilst Iran becomes a desert
4:39 Let's be honest .. the term "Syrian Opposition Forces" is just a euphemism for ISIS. Say whatever you want to say about Iranian forces; they've been the major force in defeating ISIS, by a large margin. The world is a much cleaner place without ISIS ... and their supporters.
Tshepo s the middle east conflict is not a 2 sided war. Iran fought isis when it was in irans best interest. Iran killed Americans when it was in irans best interest. This war is very multi sided and every side wants something different. There is no good or bad, right or wrong, rather different opinions
The quads force is a anti oprresion/terrorism unit that fight for whatever country asks for help this man was the hero of the middle east and always will be
@@Zara-hg4gb the Iranian government oppressed its own people? Based on what ? Bring facts I'll help you the biggest turnout for a state funeral that not organized by the state across many provinces in Iran and Iraq mourned this man. His pictures was spread across Facebook and Instagram praising his martyrdom throughout the world even in the west. The first day of his funeral was attended by over 1milliom people in the city of Qom mourners from Lebanon Iraq and Iran Aswell as Syria and elsewhere showed their feelings of sadness on that day. These are facts easily searchable anywhere. The western/Isis media tried to make it look like it was celebrations over his death and the citizens spoke out by continuing his mourning world wide for weeks protest against this illegal assassination happened in Canada and the US. For a Iranian commander stay in your bubble you Isis loving lapdog and stop pretending you care more for the Iraqi people then their own people who literally sit on the front lines against Isis everyday. One qassem Soleimani was martyred thousands rose in his place. Bring facts no one's cares about your opinion nor mine but what I stated was factual while yours is just headlines from Israel's Haaretz newspaper
Also never forget about regime power if propaganda Iran is a 86 million people country one million pro regime is nothing.

tashi tibui Modeste well it’s true didn’t understand a lot of what you said. I don’t know if you know English well. I’m assuming you don’t because of the amount of grammar errors. But yes they did have WMD’s 100%. That’s been proven. They used several types of chemical weapons in the Iran-Iraq war. Even using mustard gas which is one of the worst chemical weapons out there. Not only that child soldiers were used on both sides during the war. The Iraqis even used sarin gas. Chemical weapons are weapons of mass destruction and have been outlawed in war. It’s simple here’s an example. if you’ve committed a crime your likely to commit one again. It’s why criminals who get out of prison in the USA have an almost 80% return rate. Meaning they get out and turn back crime and end up going back to prison. They had chemical weapons before and they used them before. The country had invaded 2 other countries in a very short time frame. Iraq was bound to invade a 3rd at some point. Though the USA didn’t find nuclear weapons. They did find destroyed and sabotaged chemical weapons making facilities. Likely all chemical weapons and any evidence of there existence were destroyed. Before us troops could find any evidence of wrong doing.

@Jashi Day If you're vulnerable to foreign meddling, you don't have much of any kind of government. At least Iran is looking out for Iranians, whatever influence Iranians may or may not have over policy. And what 500 protesters ina week? Maybe you're thinking of Israel?

Spot on
The new York times loves drumming up war.
Iraq in 2003, anyone?
How is this drumming up war? There's nothing conspiratorial about this, Iran's involvement with militias around the region has been well-documented for decades. There was also no judgment in this video, take a look a how they presented his assassination. No moral judgment, just what happened.
What? So they can't do any reporting on what Iran is up to now? They didn't "drum up for war" at all. They are just reporting what's happening.
@@desmond-hawkins You're forgetting that NYT was the only news source that claimed Iraq had "Weapons of Mass Destruction". Judith Miller. Look it up.
@@Pilosoposporo Iraq had chemical weapons and they are weapons of mass destruction
Why does the NYT feel it is covert for public displays of military and political leaders in public? Does Iran come to Canada and Mexico to inter fear in the activities of the US?
No one is saying these public meetings were/are covert (although some of this was never meant to be seen, the video explained this).
The word covert here applies to the QUDS force, which is indeed a covert spy agency. The entire point of this investigation was to determine how much Suleimani's exposure on social media changed in the past decade.
The fact that America interferes in nearly everything is beside the point.
@@devodavis6747 it's propaganda. they try to paint him as some shady militant. while in fact he was a general and his job was not to carry weapons and fight, but to plan offensive/defensive and strategy - that's what generals do.

@akbar farzin allaa akbar...RIP solomani tho.
now that would be a more sensible video to put out so that the American people would be able to see for themselves the level of hatred against them; maybe if that happened, we would see a rising-up in the US and a demand to stop these illegal wars; wars for oil, and the thing about it is: the bounty is going into the pockets of the elite, not the rank and file.
I'm Polish, but I hate USA too. From childchood I observe their wars, Afghanistan in 2001, later Iraq in 2003, Libya in 2011. Now Iran? NO!

@@ruru6881 I agree with you on the fact that Iranian government is too strict on everything but Soleimani was also the key force of defeating ISIS in Syria
@@0xrobot760
Syrian here, the Iranian militias actually were more engaged in fighting the Rebels than actual ISIS territory. The ones that did the most and captured ISIS controlled land is the USA and it's allies.
Plus, ISIS killed faaaaar less civilians than the bombardment done by Russia, Iran and the Syrian regime. As much as we hated ISIS, it was actually less detrimental to civilian lives. Go see the Aleppo bombings, the Ghouta chemical warcrimes.
Not a fan of Trump, but an American president did us a good thing for once.
It means you they did what they wanted to do, confusing you. Confusing you between news that truth and lie be mix to you can't get that you want. To know what is truth you need to see who saying the news. God bless Internet now u able to see and learn who create isis, taleban, Al ghaede, even they say it them self. US, UK and isreal, got hand in this crime, and Saudi who must protect this people but go shake hand with whom who killed and bombing children. When Solaimani and his followers ever blow themselves in market. This you have to see. This is not iranian doctrine of shee'a. Also go look and study who created Wahabi in Saudi. Who are they.

Let's be honest .. the term "Syrian Opposition Forces" is just a euphemism for ISIS.

The first day of his funeral was attended by over 1milliom people in the city of Qom mourners from Lebanon Iraq and Iran Aswell as Syria and elsewhere showed their feelings of sadness on that day. These are facts easily searchable anywhere. The western/Isis media tried to make it look like it was celebrations over his death and the citizens spoke out by continuing his mourning world wide for weeks protest against this illegal assassination happened in Canada and the US. For a Iranian commander stay in your bubble you Isis loving lapdog and stop pretending you care more for the Iraqi people then their own people who literally sit on the front lines against Isis everyday. One qassem Soleimani was martyred thousands rose in his place. Bring facts no one's cares about your opinion nor mine but what I stated was factual while yours is just headlines from Israel's Haaretz newspaper
Also never forget about regime power if propaganda Iran is a 86 million people country one million pro regime is nothing.

@@user-jr4pz5td2r After all what's it has caused to humanity and the result of failed states and ISIS.
Even if the same Iraq or Iran have WMD 100% now, as u said the once had.
These methods of tell the world like this script or power's anthrax style wouldn't be believed by the rest of the world. And us sad.
tashi tibui Modeste well it’s true didn’t understand a lot of what you said. I don’t know if you know English well. I’m assuming you don’t because of the amount of grammar errors. But yes they did have WMD’s 100%. That’s been proven. They used several types of chemical weapons in the Iran-Iraq war. Even using mustard gas which is one of the worst chemical weapons out there. Not only that child soldiers were used on both sides during the war. The Iraqis even used sarin gas. Chemical weapons are weapons of mass destruction and have been outlawed in war. It’s simple here’s an example. if you’ve committed a crime your likely to commit one again. It’s why criminals who get out of prison in the USA have an almost 80% return rate. Meaning they get out and turn back crime and end up going back to prison. They had chemical weapons before and they used them before. The country had invaded 2 other countries in a very short time frame. Iraq was bound to invade a 3rd at some point. Though the USA didn’t find nuclear weapons. They did find destroyed and sabotaged chemical weapons making facilities. Likely all chemical weapons and any evidence of there existence were destroyed. Before us troops could find any evidence of wrong doing.

Not really iran scarified the most soldiers in Syria she said the Quds force hides behind proxy’s do you think Syria or Hezbollah or the PMU had enough forces to take on isis which had fighter in the millions Iran scarified tens of thousands of soldiers if not 100s of thousand plus the general is the hero of the Shia Muslims in the Middle East if it wasn’t for his command isis would have taken all of the Middle East and went into Europe
