SAEDNEWS: In a solemn moment charged with emotion, the children of slain General Qassem Soleimani were seen among mourners at a major funeral ceremony today—grief-stricken siblings revisiting a national wound that is also deeply personal.
According to Saed News, the children of the late Major General Qassem Soleimani, the commander of Iran’s Quds Force who was killed in a U.S. drone strike in 2020, took part in today’s grand funeral procession held for newly fallen Iranian martyrs. Photographs show Zeinab Soleimani and her brother among the mourners, their expressions echoing the pain of a loss they know too well.
The ceremony, attended by senior officials, military figures, and civilians, was held to honor members of the Iranian armed forces recently killed, reportedly in the context of regional hostilities. While official sources did not specify the exact circumstances surrounding the deaths, the event was steeped in patriotic symbolism and collective mourning.
The presence of Soleimani’s children, themselves symbols of national resistance and sacrifice, added emotional weight to the already charged atmosphere. Zeinab Soleimani, in particular, has taken on a public role since her father’s death, frequently appearing at political and commemorative events as a voice of Iran’s anti-Western narrative and “axis of resistance.”
Observers note that their attendance serves not only as a tribute to the dead but as a continuation of a legacy deeply embedded in Iran’s revolutionary identity—one that intertwines personal grief with national struggle.
