But in fact, the Quds Force is a cultural force and a helping hand. The Quds Force has a military section, but it focuses more on cultural activities and humanitarian aid.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/national-council-of-resistance-of-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NCRI <\/a>said, \u201cThe <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/terrorism-a-fundamentalism\/inside-irans-army-of-terror-and-oppression-revolutionary-guards-irgc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IRGC <\/a>Quds Force modus operandi for pursuing its \u2018cultural and humanitarian goals\u2019 consists of using Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) or suicide bombings to \u2018surprise\u2019 people. The heart-wrenching scenes of butchered Syrian children and decapitated innocent Iraqis by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/publications\/special-reports\/the-iranian-regimes-irgc-quds-force-1980s-present\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Quds Force <\/a>are quite telling of this terrorist force\u2019s endeavors to provide humanitarian aid.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During his interview, Salehi acknowledged Soleimani\u2019s destructive role in Iraq and stated that the use of proxy terrorist groups in the Middle East was to put into practice the regime\u2019s \u2018doctrine of exporting revolution to the region\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Salehi stated, \u201cSoleimani had a unique character due to his field experience. Therefore, many of those who assumed offices in Iraq were close friends of Soleimani and in contact with him. His achievements in Iraq are due to his previous relations with these people and their mutual trust.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The NCRI said, \u201cIt is worthy of note that these so-called \u2018Iraqi officials\u2019 were the regime\u2019s operatives and part of 32,000 agents the Iranian Resistance revealed to be on the regime\u2019s payroll in the early 2000s in Iraq.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another shocking confession made by Salehi was that Soleimani had a very close relationship with ISIS, and became involved with a number of crises in the region. Apparently, ISIS leaders also consulted Soleimani before making any decisions to relocate its forces across the Middle East.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The NCRI <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/terrorism-a-fundamentalism\/irans-ex-fm-salehi-acknowledges-regimes-diplomacy-of-terror\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a>, \u201cDuring his hearing confirmation at the regime\u2019s Majlis (parliament), current Foreign Minister, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/publications\/special-reports\/who-is-hossein-amir-abdollahian-a-diplomat-or-a-field-agent\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hossain Amir Abdollahian<\/a>, said he will continue \u2018Soleimani\u2019s path\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Iranian regime\u2019s practice of using their diplomats to help export terrorism across the globe came to light when one of their diplomats based in Vienna, Austria was arrested by German authorities in 2018. <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/2021\/02\/05\/assadi-sentenced-to-20-years-in-prison-for-terror-plot-in-france\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Assadollah Assadi<\/a>, and his three accomplices, were put on trial in early 2021 for their plot to bomb the Iranian Resistance rally in France three years earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The trial uncovered not only their plot, but the extent of Iran\u2019s terror network across Europe, with the regime\u2019s diplomatic outposts being used as hubs for terrorist activities. While they may have put the ringleader in prison for a lengthy sentence, the network is likely still active.
