NCRI – A former Iranian provincial governor was injured last week fighting in north-western Syria in the country’s civil war to keep dictator Bashar al-Assad in power, the Iranian regime’s state media have acknowledged.
The state-run news website Tabnak reported on Thursday, April 14 that Mohammad Reza Fallahzadeh a former General of the regime’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) and former governor general of Yazd Province, was injured during clashes in the south of Aleppo.
Fallahzadeh was injured on April 12 when the vehicle carrying him was hit by a mortar shell. He was transferred to Tehran for treatment the following day, the report said.
Fallahzadeh was the Governor of Yazd, central Iran, for six years during the presidency of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Several other IRGC officers were killed in the recent clashes on the southern outskirts of Aleppo, according to a report by Al-Arabiya.
Their names were given as: Alireza Safarpour Jajarmi, Ali Bayat, Aqil Shibak, Hossein Ali Kiani, Ammar Bahmani, Sajjad Khalili, Mohammad Taghi Salkhordeh, Hossein Bavas, Mohammad Jebeli, Abolfazl Rahchamani and Hamid Ghasempour.
Additionally, Iranian state media reported last week that four officers of the regime’s regular army’s 65th brigade, known as the green berets, were killed during clashes on the outskirts of Aleppo.
Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the Iranian Resistance, said in an interview with the pan-Arab daily Asharq Al-Awsat on Sunday that the mullahs’ regime in Iran would collapse once Syrian dictator Assad is toppled.
In a major interview that took up a full page of the newspaper, Mrs. Rajavi said that the Iranian regime is founded on three main pillars: obtaining a nuclear bomb, absolute domestic suppression and export of terrorism and extremism abroad.
Mrs. Rajavi pointed out that Tehran’s strategy is based on interference in the internal affairs of other countries, warmongering and export of terrorism; however, the regime’s regional plots failed after the start of the Decisive Storm operation against its proxies.
“If Assad falls out of power in Damascus, then the Iranian regime will evidently follow and collapse in Tehran,” Mrs. Rajavi said.
