The NY Post article shows two different rings. The mountings are not the same - one is a pronged setting and the other is not. The stone on just the hand is flush with the top of the prongs, the stone set in the ring on Soleimani's hand is raised above the setting which is not pronged. Also, the shoulder designs on the rings are different. These are not pictures of the same ring.
The ring in the new picture is not the same as the other two. It has a large oval stone that does not appear to be prong set. There also does not seem to be design work on the shoulder of the ring. It may also be set in yellow gold rather than white gold or silver.
That being said, many of these large red rings that I have seen are not the same - but they are similare. Coincidence? I don't know. Kind of like the whole red shoe thing.
