The New Commander Soleimani's successor, Brigadier General Esmail Qa'ani (Ghaani), 62, was born in Iran's second-largest city, Mashhad, the capital of Khorasan province, where the IRGC trains Shi'ite Afghans for fighting in Syria and Iraq. He is an Iran-Iraq war (1980-88) veteran, commanding Nasr-5 and Imam Reza-21 brigades. The latter was later expanded into a division. Qa'ani has been a member of the Qods Force since its establishment in 1988.
