Tehran: The news of the disappearance of Brigadier-General Ismail Kani of Iranian Quds Force has come to light. There has been a stir after this news came out. It is being said about him that he was last seen in the Tehran office of Hezbollah. There is no trace of him since the recent Israeli strike in Beirut. These things have come to light in many media reports.
After Sulemani’s death, Kani took his place.
Ismail Kani is considered the right hand of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei. After the death of Iran’s most powerful leader Qasim Sulemani in the air strike, Ismail Kani had replaced him. The Israeli media is suspecting that he may have been injured in an Israeli airstrike, while many media houses are also talking about the possibility of his death. However, no official confirmation has been made yet.
After the assassination of Qasem Soleimani in 2020, Qani was appointed his successor and has been one of the architects of Iran’s military strategy. Kani’s disappearance may increase tension in Iran.
No contact since Thursday
According to the New York Post report, even top Iranian officials are not aware of where Ismail Kani is and what has happened to him. There has been no contact with him since Thursday. How important Ismail Kani is can be gauged from the fact that he was supporting Hezbollah in Lebanon in every way.
Experts believe that if Kani is killed, it will have a big impact on Iran’s strength because Kani is very important for Iran. Ismail’s role has been important in everything from attacking Israel to supporting Hezbollah and Hamas and providing them weapons.
It is said that Ayatollah Khamenei used to get his instructions through Ismail Kani and it is Kani who talks to Houthi and Iraqi militias in Yemen as well as terrorist groups in the Middle East.
