SAEDNEWS: Exclusive images capture the poignant presence of Major‑General Amir Ali Haji‑Zadeh’s son at his father’s memorial—while IRGC stalwart Sardar Aziz Jafari offers a quiet salute to the fallen aerospace commander.
According to Saed News, the memorial service for Martyr Major‑General Amir Ali Haji‑Zadeh, commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Aerospace Force, and Brigadier‑General Mahmoud Bagheri was held on Tuesday, 10 Tir 1404 (July 1, 2025). The politically significant ceremony saw the late commander’s son standing solemnly amid fellow officers and families.
Photographs released by Saed News’s political desk show Haji‑Zadeh’s son—face composed, uniform crisp—as he pays homage to his father’s memory. In one image, Sardar Aziz Jafari, former commander of the IRGC’s ground forces, is seen placing a single hand over his heart in a gesture of enduring respect.
The gathering at the memorial underscores both the IRGC’s deep culture of familial sacrifice and the league of commanders who trace their bonds back to shared battlefields. Haji‑Zadeh, celebrated for modernizing Iran’s missile and drone programmes, is remembered today not only as a strategist but as a father whose legacy now passes to the next generation.
As Iran’s leadership navigates regional tensions, these commemorations reinforce internal solidarity within the IRGC ranks—and signal that personal loss and institutional continuity remain inextricably linked at the highest levels of the Islamic Republic’s security apparatus.
