Iran’s top general: Martyrdom of Resistance leaders won’t stop fight against Zionism
Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Baqeri says the martyrdom of Resistance fighters and commanders will not stop the struggle against arrogant powers and the global Zionist system.
Major General Baqeri made the remarks in a message on Monday, as he paid tribute to senior commander of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Brigadier General Abbas Nilforushan.
Nilforushan was assassinated along with Secretary-General of Hezbollah Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah in an Israeli airstrike that targeted a number of residential buildings in Beirut’s southern suburb of Dahiyeh on September 27.
The top Iranian commander offered his condolences to Leader of the Islamic Revolution and Commander-in-Chief of the Iranian Armed Forces Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, his family and comrades in the Axis of Resistance, particularly the IRGC servicemen, on the martyrdom of the late Iranian military adviser.
He stated that Brigadier General Nilforushan devoted his life to serving the Islamic Revolution and Iran’s Islamic establishment, and succeeded senior commander of the IRGC Quds Force in Syria and Lebanon Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Zahedi, who was killed in an Israeli attack on the Iranian consulate in the Syrian capital of Damascus on April 1.
