TEHRAN – A high-ranking IRGC commander and military advisor to the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, in a letter to the family of Brigadier General Abbas Nilforushan, highlighted that the sacrifices of martyrs made by Resistance commanders serve as the motivating force in the continuous fight for the liberation of Al-Quds.

Nilforushan was martyred alongside Hezbollah Leader Sayyad Hassan Nasrallah during an Israeli airstrike on Friday. 

Major General Yahya Rahim Safavi expressed his sympathies to the mourners of Nilforushan, Nasrallah and other martyred leaders of the Resistance Axis, in a publicly shared message.

The content of Major General Rahim Safavi's message is as follows:

“Dear family of the martyr, Major General Abbas Nilforushan,

I offer my heartfelt congratulations and condolences on the honorable martyrdom of the devoted commander, Major General Abbas Nilforushan, who was martyred alongside the steadfast leader, the learned and courageous Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah, as a result of the heinous and terrorist actions perpetrated by the Zionist regime in Dahieh, Lebanon.

This courageous leader dedicated his life to the cause of the Islamic Revolution and the Islamic nation. His efforts during the Sacred Defense period, his exemplary leadership in the operations of the IRGC, and his pivotal involvement in the Resistance Axis against the adversaries of Islam and the Islamic Ummah, especially the oppressive Zionist regime, have established a remarkable and inspiring legacy that will be remembered in the annals of Islamic Resistance.

This esteemed martyr, alongside the steadfast fighter Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, ultimately attained martyrdom after years of battling oppression and occupation, at a time when the illegitimate Zionist regime, having endured over a year of humiliation and disgrace following its historic defeat in the Al-Aqsa Storm operation, faced its inevitable decline. 

I pray to the Almighty God for the elevation of the martyrs' ranks and for the perseverance of the warriors and faithful fighters of the Islamic Ummah in their pursuit of the sacred cause of liberating Al-Quds.”
