SAEDNEWS: In a striking display of cross‑faction solidarity, Iran’s top civilian and military figures—among them Pezeshkian, Aref and Zakani—came together in Tehran yesterday to honor the fallen Major General Mohammad Bagheri and his family.
According to Saed News, a moving memorial service for Martyr Major General Mohammad Bagheri, alongside his late wife and daughter, was held on Tuesday at the Fatemeh al‑Zahra Hosseinieh of Tehran’s IRGC compound. Photographs from the event capture a rare tableau: seasoned parliamentarians, reformists and hard‑liners standing side by side in tribute to one of Iran’s most respected military commanders.
Deputy Speaker Mohammad Reza Pezeshkian was among the first to lay a wreath, his solemn expression reflecting the gravity of the occasion. Renowned reformist Mohammad Reza Aref offered brief remarks, emphasizing Bagheri’s “steadfast commitment to national defense and humanitarian values.” Tehran’s mayor, Alireza Zakani, paid his respects at the family’s memorial alcove, underscoring the ceremony’s civic dimension.
The gathering transcended routine protocol. In a nation often divided by factional rivalry, this ceremony united MPs, IRGC officers and cultural luminaries under a shared narrative of sacrifice. “Today, our divisions fade before the price paid by Bagheri and his loved ones,” one attendee told Saed News. The presence of both governing and opposition figures sent a clear signal: commemorating national martyrs remains one of the few arenas in which Iran’s political spectrum finds common ground.
As the ceremony concluded, a hushed procession filed past the family’s casket, offering silent prayers. The event not only honored the memory of a decorated commander but also reaffirmed a collective resolve—turning grief into unity at a pivotal moment in Iran’s contemporary history.
