DAMASCUS: A military adviser from Iran’s Revolutionary Guard’s Aerospace Force has scummed to injuries after sustaining wounds in bombardment in Syria, Iranian media reported on Thursday.
“Col. Ahmadreza Afshari was martyred due to injuries sustained from aerial bombardment from the coalition violating Syria,” top Revolutionary Guard Commander Hossein Salami said.
Iranian media did not give the exact date for the strike but said Afshari sustained his injuries between late July and early August.
The US and Israel have both conducted strikes in Syria against Iran-aligned factions, where Tehran’s influence has increased since it started supporting President Bashar al Assad in a civil war.
Iran, in April, launched explosive drones and fired missiles in its first direct strike on Israeli territory, a retaliatory strike for what it called an Israeli assault on its Damascus diplomatic compound on April 1 that killed seven officials of the Revolutionary Guard.
