IRGC addresses assassination of senior commander, promising swift response

Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has asserted its commitment to respond to any disruptive actions in the region, particularly in the aftermath of the recent martyrdom of Iranian Commander Seyyed Razi Mousavi.
In a press conference held on Wednesday, Brigadier General Ramezan Sharif, the spokesperson for Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps, discussed the implications of Commander Mousavi’s assassination in Syria.

Expressing condolences, General Sharif underscored the continuous battle against security threats, reiterating the IRGC’s dedication to safeguarding the Islamic Revolution of Iran. He highlighted Commander Seyyed Razi’s pivotal role in fortifying the security of Iran’s borders.

He highlighted that the killing of Mousavi represents a persistent breach of international laws by the Israeli government. He urged the global community to intervene and put an end to the actions of the occupying regime, emphasizing the threat it poses to international peace and security.

Praising Mousavi’s diplomatic contributions, especially during ISIS attempts to destabilize the Syrian nation and assist the Zionists, General Sharif provided context to the international impact of the commander’s efforts.
Addressing Iran’s response, General Sharif assured that it would be swift and decisive.

In response to inquiries about a potential Gaza ceasefire, General Sharif outlined the Israeli regime’s primary objective: the complete eradication of Hamas and the displacement of innocent Palestinians from their homes. Given this objective, he expressed skepticism about the likelihood of a ceasefire. General Sharif confidently stated that the first aftershock of Al-Aqsa Storm would mark the collapse of the Zionist regime, a development evident throughout the ongoing events.

Touching on Yemen’s actions against the Zionist regime, General Sharif expressed admiration for Yemen’s intelligence in supporting Gaza’s oppressed population.
Brigadier General Seyyed Razi Mousavi, a senior IRGC member, was martyred in an Israeli airstrike in the Zeinabiyeh district of Damascus on Monday. Seyyed Razi played a crucial role in providing logistics support for the Resistance Front in Syria and was a companion of the late Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani.
