IRGC says body of senior cmdr. Nilforoushan found after martyrdom in Beirut in late Sept.
Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has announced discovery of the body of Brigadier General Abbas Nilforoushan, who was martyred during Israeli aggression against the Lebanese capital Beirut late last month.
The Corps’ Public Relations Office announced the development in a statement on Friday, saying Nilforoushan’s body had been found in the city’s southern suburb of Dahiyeh.
The statement described Nilforoushan as one of the Islamic Republic’s “senior advisors” as well as a “stalwart and intellectual” serviceman, who had been martyred as a result of “the ruthless and bloodthirsty Zionist regime’s atrocity.”
It condoled with the regional resistance front and the commander’s survivors over his martyrdom, saying the Corps would duly announce the pending date of his body’s transfer to the Islamic Republic as well as the funeral procession, which would be held in his honor, and the subsequent burial ceremony.
Nilforoushan was martyred during intense Israeli airstrikes against Dahiyeh that also led to the martyrdom of the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah’s Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.
Iran responded to the assassinations as well as the regime’s other atrocities against the Islamic Republic and other regional countries on October 1 by firing 200 ballistic missiles towards sensitive military and intelligence targets across the occupied Palestinian territories.
The retaliation, dubbed Operation True Promise II, inflicted significant damage to the targets that included the headquarters of the regime’s Mossad spy agency, the regime’s Nevatim airbase that houses its F-35 warplanes, and the Hatzerim base that was used towards enabling Nasrallah’s assassination.
