The Corpsโ Public Relations Office announced the development in a statement, saying Nilforoushanโs body had been found in the cityโs southern suburb of Dahiyeh.
The statement described Nilforoushan as one of the Islamic Republicโs โsenior advisorsโ as well as a โstalwart and intellectualโ serviceman, who had been martyred as a result of โthe ruthless and bloodthirsty Zionist regimeโs atrocity”.
It condoled with the regional resistance front and the commanderโs survivors over his martyrdom, saying the Corps would duly announce the pending date of his bodyโs transfer to the Islamic Republic as well as the funeral procession, which would be held in his honor, and the subsequent burial ceremony.
Nilforoushan was killed during intense Israeli airstrikes against Dahiyeh that also led to the martyrdom of the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollahโs Secretary General Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah.
Iran responded to the assassinations as well as the regimeโs other atrocities against the Islamic Republic and other regional countries on October 1 by firing 200 ballistic missiles towards sensitive military and intelligence targets across the occupied Palestinian territories.
