Esmail Ghaani, Iran's new military leader

A new Iranian general has stepped out of the shadows to lead the country's expeditionary Quds Force. Like his predecessor, a young Esmail Ghaani faced the carnage of Iran's eight-year war with Iraq in the 1980s. While much still remains unknown about Ghaani, 62, Western sanctions suggest he's long been in a position of power in the organisation.
