Tomb of Soleimani at Baghdad airport, new "Iraq of the shrines"

- One Hour Elapsed

It seems that Iran has changed its idea of converting the assassination site of Qassem Soleimani into a #wepping wall and replacing it with a mausoleum or a mock-up, in parallel with an electronic alert to transform Soleimani into a "popular hero" in the Iraqi imagination as an introduction to the satisfaction of building a mausoleum for him on the grounds of Baghdad Airport.

Baghdad- Users of social media in Iraq have revealed that the Popular Mobilization Authority in Iraq is seeking to seize twenty dunams (one dunum is equivalent to 2,500 square meters) from the Baghdad airport land to establish a “tomb” for the commander of the Quds Force in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, Qassem Soleimani.

Soleimani and the deputy head of the Popular Mobilization Authority, Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, were killed in a US raid at Baghdad International Airport last January.

The airport surrounds 106 dunums, most of which are unexploited, some of which are owned by the Iraqi state, and the other is owned by citizens, according to old bonds belonging to the Ottoman state, and controversy has often been raised about it, regarding the government's intention to invest it and build tourism facilities and commercial centers.

Journalists confirmed the news at a time when the HTS’s leader, Mouin Al-Kazemi, denied it in a statement to Shafaq News, which “talked about the pressure on the Iraqi Prime Minister, Mustafa Al-Kazemi, to seize twenty dunams of Baghdad airport land to establish a shrine for the commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Qassem Soleimani. ”

And Al-Kazemi explained: “The people of the Kerman region in Iran (Soleimani’s hometown) refuse to transfer Soleimani’s body to any other area, and they refused to be buried in Najaf; When his body was in Iraq, ”stressing that“ there is no intention to erect a symbolic grave for him near Baghdad International Airport. ”

And he accused those he described as "sick psyche with a contract and grudge, which are behind these rumors," noting that it "is trying to submit to the US embassy, by broadcasting such unfounded rumors."

On social media, it seemed that the electronic armies were on the alert and their main task was to promote the hashtag # Qassem_Soleimani, who smiled and laughed with his pictures on the occasion of the 44th week since his assassination.

The hashtag is part of a sophisticated electronic plan to portray Soleimani, the architect of the spread of corruption and sectarianism in Iraq, in the form of a hero within the Iraqi popular imagination, especially among young people who use access sites extensively and represent more than 60 percent of Iraqis.

It seems that electronic armies, based on their knowledge of the psyche of Iraqi society and the potentials of its impact, publish emotional posts on social media to keep the Iraqi mind away.

From the way the posts are written and presented, it appears that professionals are behind them. It was noteworthy that the "human" Soleimani was deified. This speech is familiar in Iraq, where charlatanism in the name of religion abounds in the absence of the people's consciousness. Because the occult people are easy to drive.

Iraqis are calling for the restoration of "an Iraq free of shrines," stressing that Iran has made the Iraqi people sanctify shrines more than the homeland. Iraqi writer Ghaith Al-Tamimi tweeted:

And previous videos posted on social media in Iraq showing Qassem Soleimani's location on the Baghdad International Airport road surrounded by a glass fence sparked widespread anger. Iraqis said that Iran wants to convert the assassination site of the Revolutionary Guard militia commander into an Iraqi wailing wall. The video clips showed shelling shots on the walls as they were, and a sign inscribed with the phrase "Here is the assassination of the leaders of victory."

On the other hand, political sources in the capital, Baghdad, stated that the movements of militia leaders to acquire the plot of land are continuing, despite the opposition of Prime Minister Mustafa
Al-Kazemi.

Iranian-backed state militia leaders insist they implement the project and pressure Kazemi to agree to give them the land. The sources expressed their expectation that a monument would be built, not a mausoleum for Qassem Soleimani, and another for Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis.

Iraqi activists and journalists demanded that Al-Kazemi not agree to granting these lands to influential parties in the popular crowd. According to activists, the real goal of establishing the mausoleum or monument, and seizing those lands, is to establish a base for the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, in that region, due to its strategic importance. Journalist Maan Al-Jizani said in a tweet:

Journalist Adnan Al-Taie confirmed on Twitter:

Great pressure was put on the Al-Kazemi government to seize twenty dunams of the airport land to erect Soleimani's grave on it .. Al-Kazemi formed a committee to examine the issue and answer it

Now we have become convinced that 90 percent of the shrines and shrines in our country forged their identity with the names of the Companions and the House of Family, which in fact is similar to the story of building a tomb for Soleimani.
