[JerusalemPost] Iran’s Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Quds Force Major General Qassem Soleimani

Solemaini was awarded the Order of Zulfaqar from the leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei

, making him the first Iranian military official to receive the order following the establishment of the Islamic Theocratic Republic in 1979, Iran’s Tasnim News Agency reported on Monday.
According to "Radio Farda" ("Tomorrow" in Farsi) the Persian language broadcaster of the US government-funded Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, the Order of Zulfiqar was coined in 1921 and was given to ten army commanders under the Shah.
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif congratulated Zarif, praising his efforts in the "fight against terrorism and extremism in the region, adding that such efforts have prepared the grounds for creating a strong and stable region free from violence and radicalization," Iran’s Mehr News Agency
...And if you can't believe Mehr News Agency who can you believe?...
said.
Soleimani is one of the most prominent and influential military figures in Iran, leading operations beyond Iran’s borders in Syria, Iraq and Yemen.

n-led coalition.
As the Quds Force commander he has received the Order of Conquest (the second-highest military order after the Zulfaqar) three times for his military operations in the Middle East.
Solemani "is arguably the most powerful and unconstrained actor in the Middle East today," retired four-star United States Army General Stanley McChrystal said in a January article in Foreign Policy.
"Suleimani is no longer simply a soldier; he is a calculating and practical strategist. Most ruthlessly and at the cost of all else, he has forged lasting relationships to bolster Iran’s position in the region," McChrystal wrote.
But former IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen.(res) Gadi Eisenkot was crowned "as the man who humbled" the Soleimani in an interview with the New York Times

before his retirement from the military for the thousands of strikes against Iranian and Hezbollah targets across the region.
In January, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu mocked the Iranian general telling him to examine "the state of Iranian bases he is trying to establish in Syria" instead of "interfering in the [Israeli] elections" following a report in a Kuwaiti paper that he told Iranian leaders that strikes deep inside Israeli territory could bring down Netanyahu in the upcoming elections.
In July he made headlines after he went after US President Donald Trump
