SAEDNEWS: A delegation of the Defenders of the Shrine’s wives recently visited the modest residence of Brigadier‑General Hossein Salami, where a plain sofa set, a simple machine‑woven carpet and the uniform he wore at the moment of his martyrdom speak volumes about his humility and unwavering devotion.
According to Saed News, the unassuming Beirut‑style parlor of the late Brigadier‑General Hossein Salami stands in stark contrast to the acclaim he garnered as a commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Earlier this week, a delegation of wives of the “Defenders of the Shrine” convened at his family residence to pay their respects and share memories of the martyred general.
The living room, anchored by a modest sofa set and a plain machine‑woven carpet, bears no sign of opulence or military grandeur. Family photographs line the walls, capturing moments of camaraderie and quiet domesticity. On a simple wooden side table rests the uniform Salami wore at the moment of his martyrdom—a poignant testament to his dedication and ultimate sacrifice.
Guests were struck not only by the physical simplicity of the space but also by the palpable sense of humility it exuded. “He never sought the limelight,” one attendee remarked. “In life, as in death, he remained true to the virtues he defended.”
This gathering underscores a growing movement within Iran to honor the personal sacrifices of its military leaders beyond battlefield heroics, highlighting the humanity behind the uniforms. As Iran contemplates the legacies of its martyrs, the serene domesticity of Brigadier‑General Salami’s home offers a solemn reminder that heroism often resides in steadfast service rather than in lavish decor.
