Former Iranian roads minister Qassemi dies of illness
Iran’s former minister of roads and urban development, Rostam Qassemi, has passed away, after a long struggle with illness.
According to Iranian media, Qassemi passed away on Thursday at the age of 58 after "suffering a period of illness."
President Ebrahim Raeisi late in November accepted Qassemi's resignation following the deterioration of the latter's health conditions some two months earlier.
Immediately after that, the former commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC)’s Khatam al-Anbiya Construction Headquarters, began a serious treatment process of cancer and underwent chemotherapy.
Qassemi was also a former minister of petroleum in Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's administration and also a military veteran who served in the Iran-Iraq war of the 80s.
