National Funeral of Iran’s Martyred Commanders Planned in Tehran Saturday
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iranian people, officials and religious figures will attend a national funeral in Tehran on Saturday for senior commanders martyred in the recent Israeli aggression on the country.
The Zionist regime waged an unprovoked war of aggression against Iran on June 13. It carried out airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear, military and residential sites that resulted in the martyrdom of over 600 Iranians, including top military commanders, nuclear scientists and ordinary citizens.
Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Hossein Baqeri, Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Major General Hossein Salami, Commander of Iran’s Khatam al-Anbia Central Headquarters Major General Gholam Ali Rashid, Commander of the IRGC Aerospace Force Major General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, and several Iranian nuclear scientists were among those martyred in the strikes.
The Iranian military forces started counterattacks immediately afterwards. The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Aerospace Force carried out 22 waves of retaliatory missile strikes against the Zionist regime as part of Operation True Promise III that inflicted heavy losses on cities across the occupied territories and forced the regime to beg for a ceasefire.
The funeral ceremony for the bodies of General Salami and General Masoud Shaneei, his office manager, will be held in their hometown of Golpayegan at 9:00 AM on Thursday.
The national funeral ceremony for these martyrs, along with other martyred commanders of the Zionist regime’s aggression, is scheduled to be held on Saturday in Tehran, starting at 8:00 AM from the main gate of Tehran University towards Azadi Square, with the massive participation of people and officials.
