The website — mashreghnews.ir — says Gen. Hassan Shateri was killed by “mercenaries of the Zionist regime,” but provided no details about his death.
Shateri led Guard forces in Lebanon and oversaw Iranian-financed reconstruction projects there.
Iran is a close ally of Syria and the militant group called Hezbollah, which is a powerful player in Lebanon. Tehran provides political and military support to both.
Gen. Ghasem Soleimani, the head of the Guard’s Quds Force, visited Shateri’s family to express his condolences.
The Quds Force oversees external operations of the Guard throughout the world.
Shateri’s funeral will be held on Thursday.
He could have fallen down the stairs or died in his sleep, but it’s convenient to blame “mercenaries of the Zionist regime”. They are responsible for everything!
It doesn’t matter if in fact the Mossad killed him… what is more important is the perception that they did it. That alone strikes fear in the hearts of terrorists.
Keep up good work!
