IRGC member killed in Syria

NCRI – At least one more member of the Iranian regime Revolutionary Guards Corp killed in Syria on Wednesday, a state-run news website reported.

Mohamad Hossein Moradi who was killed on Wednesday in Damascus had been dispatched from Tehran, the report added.

Earlier this month, Mohammad Jamali-zadeh, a commander of IRGC was killed in Syria.

He was also described as a “great commander” and “a leading commander in forefront” during the Iran-Iraq War of 1980-1988.

Jamali-zadeh rose in the ranks during the years when current Quds Force commander Ghassem Soleimani was the commander of the IRGC division in Kerman.

Javad Ghoddusi Karimi, a member of the regime’s Majlis’ (parliament) National Security and Foreign Policy Commission provided more details on the IRGC’s presence in Syria.

He said on November 4: “Hundreds of battalions from Iran are present in Syria. Although you hear the news of the Syrian Army’s victories through a Syrian commander, it is actually Iranian forces that are behind the scene. (When the US announced possible attacks against Syria) in the days when all embassies in Damascus were closed, Iran’s official delegation, along with their families, were there in the scene which was encouraging for Bashar al-Assad.”
