Shadow Commander: Iran’s Military Mastermind

I stumbled upon this on BBC: a gripping one hour documentary on Qasem Soleimani.  This is not a new documentary, pieced together after his killing: this was first screened around a year ago.  Thus it offers an excellent context to his killing without being encumbered by the need to do so.  It also spotlights a number of little known or forgotten aspects of the US-Iran relationship over the past two decades. 

I am not sure when this will next be screened but for anyone who’s interested, I noticed a reddit post with upload links.

As a prelude or a companion piece with additional footage, I would recommend checking out this 7 minute BBC Newsnight report from 2014.
