TEHRAN – Major General Hossein Salami, Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC), praised Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh for being awarded the Fat’h Medal by Leader of Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.

The Fat’h Medal was presented to General Hajizadeh in recognition of his leadership and pivotal role in the Operation True Promise II.
