[ALMASDARNEWS] The commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Quds Force, Major General Qassem Soleimani
 , told Iranian state TV on Wednesday that he was present in Leb during the 34-day-long Hezbollah-Israel War in 2006.
"Yep. There I wuz..."
During the 90-minute-long interview, Soleimani detailed his role in advising Hezbollah as they faced off against the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF).
"... so I gets him in me sights, an' I starts squeezin' off me round..."
The Quds Force commander said he was entrenched with the Hezbollah military commander at the time, Imad Moughniyeh, who was later assassinated in Damascus by Israel in 2008.
"Yessir, there we wuz, me and Imad. 'Muggsy,' we used to call him..."
He would detail how he and Hezbollah’s Secretary-General Sayyed His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah
 ...The satrap of the Medes and the Persians in Leb...
barely escaped a bomb that struck the Lebanese group’s operations room in Beirut’s southern suburbs
"Tried to blow us up, the bustards! An' him a holy man!"
However,
a clean conscience makes a soft pillow...
Soleimani said he was not deterred after the attack, as he remained inside of Leb for much of the war.
"Nah. I wasn't scared. Not me. Takes more'n a bomb or two to scare me."
Soleimani’s interview marked the first time that the commander of the Quds Force discussed his role during the 2006 War. The Quds Force commander has played a major role in several regional conflicts since 2006; these include the Iraq War (2003-2010) and Syrian Conflict (2011-Present).
