Iranian General Vajihollah Moradi Passes Away, A Comrade of Qassem Soleimani

Gen. Vajihollah Moradi, a high-ranking general in Iran's Revolutionary Guard, has died after an illness. He was a key figure in the Guard's foreign wing and a close associate of Gen. Qassem Soleimani, who was killed in a US drone strike in 2020. A funeral ceremony is scheduled in Babolsar.

In a recent development, Iran's state TV announced on Saturday the passing of Gen. Vajihollah Moradi after a prolonged illness. A prominent figure in the Revolutionary Guard's foreign operations, Moradi shared a close alliance with Gen. Qassem Soleimani, who was killed by a US drone strike in 2020.

The funeral ceremony for Gen. Moradi will be held on Sunday in the northern city of Babolsar. This event highlights the continuous involvement of Iranian forces, officially described as advisors, in the Syrian civil war. Iran remains a steadfast supporter of Syrian President Bashar Assad in the prolonged conflict.

The war in Syria has claimed the lives of hundreds of Iranian forces over the years, underscoring the extent of Iran's commitment to its regional ally. The death of Gen. Moradi marks another somber moment for the Iranian military.
