Shahid Soleimani-class corvette

The Shahid Soleimani class (Persian: شهید سلیمانی) were the principal surface combatant ships of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy of Iran. These were an Iranian class of missile corvettes and bore the name of Qasem Soleimani, a prominent Iranian military officer, who was the commander of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force from 1998, until he was assassinated on 3 January 2020 by the United States in Baghdad, Iraq alongside Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis. These ships were being built by various shipyards in Bushehr, Qeshm and Bandar Abbas and were operated by the IRGC Navy.
