**Saed News:** According to the Public Relations of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), during the early morning attack on June 13 by the Zionist regime, 7 commanders of the IRGC Aerospace Force were martyred.
In the name of God, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful
"And do not think of those who have been killed in the way of Allah as dead. Rather, they are alive with their Lord, receiving provision."
— (Al-Imran / 169)
We announce with sorrow and honor the martyrdom of a group of prominent and senior commanders of the IRGC Aerospace Force (companions of the esteemed commander, Sardar Hajjizadeh), the honorable martyrs:
Mahmoud Bagheri, Davood Sheykhian, Mohammad Bagher Taherpour, Mansour Safarpour, Masoud Tayyeb, Khosrow Hasani, and Javad Jarasra.
They were martyred in the recent cowardly and terrorist crime committed by the criminal Zionist regime in the early morning of Friday, June 13, 2025 (23 Khordad 1404).
We extend our congratulations and condolences to the sacred presence of Imam Mahdi (may God hasten his reappearance), to the rightful representative of the great leadership and Commander-in-Chief, His Excellency Imam Khamenei (may his shadow last), to the respected and patient families of the martyrs, to the commanders and brave personnel of the IRGC Aerospace Force, and to the noble and resilient people of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Undoubtedly, the struggles and sacrifices of these precious martyrs will forever remain in the historical memory of the Iranian nation, especially in the brilliant record of the IRGC Aerospace Force, and will inspire and motivate future generations of this force and all the youth of this land on the path of self-sacrifice and devotion to defend the revolution, the Islamic system, and the dignity and security of Iran and Iranians. Their bright and luminous path will continue steadfastly and powerfully through their comrades.
Although the martyrdom of these proud commanders is a heartbreaking loss for the Iranian nation and armed forces, their pure blood has not only strengthened the sturdy tree of the Islamic Revolution but also solidified the determination of the great Iranian nation and its revolutionary children to confront international Zionism and its vile and criminal supporters.
We humbly thank Almighty God that the noble Iranian nation, especially the honorable families of these martyrs and other victims of the Zionist crime, witnessed that only a few hours after the criminal and terrorist aggression on the early morning of Friday, June 13, decisive and powerful action was taken to launch the “Vadeh Sadegh 3” operation. This responded to the evil and criminal act, and the Zionist enemy was met with a historic and heavy blow. This is only the beginning of the path of “national revenge,” and the Zionist regime should know that the era of unpunished crimes has ended.
The fake, occupying, and wolf-like Zionist regime is doomed to collapse and destruction. By raising the flag of jihad and martyrdom and continuing the sacred path of the martyrs, by the will and power of God, that divine promise will be fulfilled:
"Indeed, they see it [the punishment] far off, but We see it near."
May the memory, name, and path of the oppressed and proud martyrs of the IRGC Aerospace Force and all the martyrs of the path of resistance and defense of the dignity, security, national independence, and territorial integrity of the country be honored and eternal.
The funeral and burial ceremony of these great martyrs and other martyrs of the Zionist regime’s aggressive attack will be announced to the heroic and honorable Iranian nation in due time.
