The head of the al-Quds Force of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps, Qassem Soleimani, is reportedly in Russia for a secret military meeting with President Vladimir Putin in Moscow.
The Iranian major general is subject to UN sanctions that restrict his international travel, but according to Fox News, “multiple intelligence sources” report that he took a private jet on Thursday morning from Tehran to Moscow. The report speculates that the use of a private plane was most likely intended to hide his movements.
