Funeral of IRGC Forces to Be Held in Tehran on Int’l Quds Day
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – A funeral procession for the Iranian military advisers martyred in a recent Israeli strike on Iran’s diplomatic mission in Damascus will be held in Tehran on Friday, the International Quds Day, an IRGC official said.
The head of the Intifada (Palestinian uprising) and Quds Center at Iran’s Islamic Propagation Coordination Council held a press conference on Wednesday about the plans for this year’s International Quds Day, which will be commemorated on Friday, April 5.
Ramezan Sharif said the event will include the funeral procession for the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) forces martyred in the airstrike the Zionist regime launched on the consular section of the Iranian embassy in Syria on Monday.
The Quds Day demonstrators will attend the funeral at 10 am before taking part in the Friday prayers at the University of Tehran, he said.
The bodies of the Iranian martyrs will then be transferred to the late figures’ respective provinces and cities, Sharif added.
He stated that IRGC Commander Major General Hossein Salami will be the keynote speaker of the event in Tehran on the International Quds Day.
The Israeli regime’s warplanes launched a missile attack on the consular section of Iran’s embassy in Damascus on Monday evening, killing seven IRGC generals and military advisers.
In a message on Tuesday, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei said the Islamic Republic will make the Zionist regime regret this crime.
