Slain general Suleimani was Iran’s Michael Collins, says Iranian ambassador

Iran’s ambassador to Ireland has likened Qassem Suleimani, the top Iranian general killed by the US, to revolutionary Michael Collins

He urged the Government to help ease tensions between the US and Iran following the US killing of Gen Suleimani.
