Iran’s supreme leader decorates IRGC commander for Israel attack – SUCH TV
Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has conferred the Order of Fat’h (Conquest) on Brigadier General Amir-Ali Hajizadeh, the commander of the IRGC’s Aerospace Division.
According to Iranian media, the order is granted to warriors with dramatic victories. The awarding on Sunday came after Iran’s launch of 180 ballistic missiles at Israeli military and intelligence bases in the Tel Aviv area on Tuesday.
“The awarding of the order is in recognition of the brilliant Operation True Promise,” Iran’s news agencies reported.
The medal consists of the likeness of three palm leaves on top of the grand mosque of Khorramshahr in southwest Iran as a symbol of resistance, the flag of Iran and the word fat’h.
Operation True Promise refers to Iran’s retaliatory strikes on Israel on April 13 and October 1.
In April, Iran launched hundreds of drones and missiles against Israel, in an unprecedented attack that came as a response to the occupying regime’s raid on the Iranian consulate in Syria.
On Tuesday, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps launched 180 ballistic missiles at two Israeli airbases housing F-35 and F-15 warplanes as well as the Mossad headquarters in retaliation for the regime’s assassination of Hamas and Hezbollah leaders and a top IRGC commander.
