Several documents received by Avatoday on Sunday showed Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGCs) are spreading recruitment forms among Iranian, hoping to find volunteers in their fight against US and Israel after the death of Qassem Soleimani.

Iran’s top general and commander of Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps's Quds forces Qassem Suleimani and Hezbollah chief Abu Mahdi Al Muhandis were killed in US strikes in Iraq on President Donald Trump’s order on Friday. The Tension between Washington and Tehran has raised since.

One of the documents, under the title “Registration for Tough Revenge,” has required full information of the expected volunteer including if he had been trained in the past or not.

The second document aims at recruiting suicide bombers.

The document begun with two quotes from Islamic Republic founder, Ruhollah Khomeini and the Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, asking people to join the fight and carry out suicide operation against the US and Israel.

US Defence Department said the Iranian general “was actively developing plans to attack American diplomats and service members in Iraq and throughout the region.” It has also blamed Suleimani for preparing an attack on US embassy in Baghdad earlier this week.

Khamenei warned a “tough revenge is waiting” the US. He also declared three-days of public mourning for Suleiman’s death.

Another document separated by IRGCs had several options regarding the kinks of targets that the volunteers want to die for.

“I hereby would like to carry a suicide attack against; American criminals and terrorists, occupiers of Quds land (Palestine), or invaders of Islamic lands,” the document give three options to the volunteers.

The letter then described what a “martyrdom operation is.”

Martyrdom is “when a man, a youth, or a teenage boy or girl show readiness to die defending his or her county, honor and religion,” the document explained.

US President Donald trump has warned that decisive and strong response would be taken for any attack against US forces and diplomats.

“The United States just spent Two Trillion Dollars on Military Equipment. We are the biggest and by far the BEST in the World! If Iran attacks an American Base, or any American, we will be sending some of that brand new beautiful equipment their way...and without hesitation!” Trump tweeted.

Last year, US has designated the entire Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps including Soleimani’s Quds unit as a terrorist group.
