Tehran: People in several cities across Iran have laid to rest senior commanders of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (I.R.G.C.), who lost their lives in the recent Israeli war of aggression against the country.

According to Islamic Republic News Agency, ceremonies were held on Sunday to lay to rest the commanders who were assassinated in targeted Israeli strikes launched as part of the regime’s war of aggression that began on June 13. Among those laid to rest was Lieutenant General Hossein Salami, the I.R.G.C. chief commander, at Shah Abdol-Azim shrine in the city of Rey, Tehran Province, alongside Masoud Shanei.

Ali Larijani and Mohammad Mokhber, advisors to the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, attended the burial ceremony in Rey. In another ceremony, Major General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, commander of the I.R.G.C. Aerospace Force, and Major General Mahmoud Bagheri, commander of the Aerospace Missile Force, were laid to rest in Behesht-e Zahra, the cemetery of Tehran.

The burial for Lieutenant General Ali Shadmani, who led the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, took place in Hamedan, his hometown. His predecessor, Lieutenant General Gholamali Rashid, was also assassinated by Israel on June 13, and his burial will occur in his hometown, Dezful, on Monday. Following Rashid’s assassination, Shadmani was appointed by Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei as the new commander.

Lieutenant General Mohammad Baqeri, the chairman of the chiefs of staff of Iran’s Armed Forces, was laid to rest on Saturday after a funeral procession for 60 victims of the Israeli aggression. These individuals were among more than 600 casualties during the 12-day conflict.

The aggression began three days before planned talks between Iran and the United States on Iran’s nuclear program. The conflict escalated when Washington joined the aggression on June 22, targeting Iran’s nuclear sites at Fordow, Isfahan, and Natanz.

In retaliation, the Iranian Armed Forces struck key areas within Israeli-occupied territories, causing significant damage. The conflict concluded with a ceasefire announced on June 24.
