Deputy commander of Iran’s Quds Force dies from ‘heart condition’
RIYADH: The deputy commander of Iran’s military wing that oversees its foreign proxy militias has died from a “heart condition.”
Brig. Gen. Mohammad Hejazi’s death was announced by the
Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Iranian media reported. No further
details were given about his death.
He was a senior figure in the Quds Force, the overseas arm
of the IRGC, whose overall commander Qassem Soleimani was killed by a US
airstrike in January 2020.
The statement said Hejazi, who was 65, was involved in
operations in Lebanon where Iran supplies and funds Hezbollah.
The Quds force is considered a terrorist organization by the
US, Europe and many countries in the Middle East.
