Iranian Commander Killed in Syria
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
A senior officer in Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards unit has been killed in Syria, the fourth Iranian commander to die there in the last month, the Fars news agency said Tuesday.
Colonel Ezzatollah Soleimani died during an "advisory mission" near the northern Syrian city of Aleppo, it said.
Iranian media have since Saturday announced the deaths of five Iranians in Syria, bringing the total killed there to 20 since October 9.
Among those have been four Revolutionary Guards commanders, including General Hossein Hamedani, a veteran of the Iran-Iraq war, who was killed by the Islamic State jihadist group near Aleppo.
Iran supports the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad, and while it doesn't officially send troops to Syria, it has deployed military "advisers" to the war-torn country.

Southern : newsflash : intelligent people do not follow vilayet e faqih so they don't "have to" do anything and certainly not something some dipstick tells them to do.
