I don’t know how great of a military mastermind he is, but I do know he is in charge of spreading Iranian influence, and the Iranians have dominated Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, several former Soviet states, and, briefly, even Egypt.
I’ve read that Chile is nice.
See these countries that Iranian general has lead the Iranian forces and the locals into taking over them.
Yemen...he helped mastermind the Houthis in taking Yemen.
Syria he saved Assads ass.
Lebanon he helped push back on the Israelis during the fighting.
The dude is no puffed up Latin American general.
He walks the walks and talks the talk.
