Soleimani is known throughout militant groups as someone who is not very religious but very nationalistic.
There are rumors circulating that the replacement of Khamenei is chosen to be either Khameneis son, Mojtaba Khamenei, or Larijanis son.
1. Soleimani was the second most powerful after Khamenei
2. In all of IR, he was most loved and most trusted by Khamenei
Apparently Soleimani was planning a coup d'état to end clergy rule after Khamenei's death
Maybe even Khamenei wanted to appoint Soleimani as next leader of Iran.
But other factions wanted Khameneis son or Larijanis son
He was too powerful and had too much support and factions within Iran wanted him gone.
