Iran has appointed Esmail Qaani to lead Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' Quds Force after its previous commander, Major General Qassem Soleimani, was killed in a US air strike on Friday. Qaani served as Soleimani's second-in-command. The Quds Force's program of action "will stay exactly the same" as it was under Soleimani, Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei said.
