The Guardian: Qaani's relationship is not as good as Soleimani's with Khamenei

Jul 26, 2021, 14:31 GMT+1Updated: 20:33 GMT+1

According to the newspaper, on paper, he plays the same role as Soleimani, which is a combination of the command of the special forces, the intelligence department and the representative of the Supreme Leader, but he clearly lacks the third and most important feature.
