Quds Force Commander Brigadier General Esmail Qaani appears at celebrations in central Tehran after allegations of his assassination in Israeli attacks
Brigadier General Esmail Qaani, commander of the Quds Force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), appeared at celebrations in central Tehran, 12 days after allegations of his assassination in Israeli attacks.
The official IRNA news agency reported that Qaani made his first public appearance on Tuesday during victory celebrations in central Tehran, following the ceasefire between Israel and Iran.
Qaani was seen in the photos walking around the celebration square with his guards and chatting with citizens.
IRNA accompanied the photos with the comment, “Qaani’s first appearance 12 days after the Israeli aggression”.
On June 13, the New York Times, citing “unnamed Iranian sources,” claimed that Qaani was killed in Israeli attacks targeting sites inside Iran.
The Iranian capital, Tehran, witnessed “victory celebrations” on Tuesday, with large crowds of citizens participating, following the announcement of a ceasefire between Iran and Israel after nearly two weeks of mutual attacks.
