Tehran – Saba:
The Public Relations Office of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced the martyrdom of the IRGC Aerospace Force Commander, Major General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, as a result of the Zionist aggression on Friday.
In a mourning statement published by the Iranian Fars News Agency, the office confirmed that Major General Hajizadeh was martyred along with a group of heroes during the Zionist terrorist attack on a IRGC center.
The statement said: "This tireless, mujahid commander, who dedicated his blessed life, especially during the 16 years of his mujahid, wise, and powerful leadership of the IRGC Aerospace Force, to strengthening the deterrent power of the Islamic Republic and preserving the country's security and independence, was one of the most prominent and influential figures in the resistance front and a symbol of progress, innovation, and pride in the defense and missile fields of Islamic Iran."
It added, "The martyr operated with a jihadi spirit, sincerity, sharp intelligence, and humility, and was able to transform these honorable forces into one of the country's main deterrent pillars and a thorn in the enemies' eyes."
The statement continued, "There is no doubt that this criminal act will not deter the Iranian people and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps from their steadfast path. Rather, it will strengthen their resolve to exact strong revenge and continue the honorable path of the Mujahideen in the path of God."
It added, "While emphasizing the complete security and operational control of the great people's Revolutionary Guard Corps and other armed forces over the country's situation, the noble Iranian people are urged to maintain calm and ignore the psychological campaigns waged by external enemies and their domestic agents, and to continue supporting the Revolutionary Guard Corps, as always, in its path of unity, vigilance, and national patience."
The statement emphasized, "Without a doubt, the Zionist regime and its regional and international allies will receive the appropriate and decisive response at the appropriate time and place, and the path of our beloved martyr Hajizadeh and his martyred companions, which history will immortalize in this land as historic anti-Zionist operations such as 'True Promise 1 and 2,' will continue more strongly than ever."
