The Leader of the Islamic Revolution His Eminence Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei appointed Brigadier General Mohammad Karami as the new commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards [IRG] Ground Force.

In a decree released on June 19, Imam Khamenei, the commander-in-chief of the Iranian Armed Forces, assigned Brigadier General Karami to replace Major General Mohammad Pakpour, who has been appointed as the IRG commander.

In the decree announcing the designation, the Leader highlighted the new commander’s merits and valuable experiences and called on him to push for the enhancement of the IRG Ground Force’s capabilities and preparedness in all domains.

Imam Khamenei has warned the Zionist entity that it will receive a severe punishment for the strike, saying, “With this crime, the Zionist entity has prepared for itself a bitter, painful fate, which it will definitely see.”
