IRGC commanders meet President-elect Pezeshkian

TEHRAN, Jul. 14 (MNA) – The senior commanders of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) met and held talks with President-Elect Masoud Pezeshkian this morning.

IRGC Chief Commander Major General Hossein Salami, Leader’s Representative in IRGC Hojjatoleslam Abdollah Haji Saedghi, IRGC Ground Force Commander Brigadier General Mohammad Pakpour, IRGC Aerospace Force Commander Brigadier General Alirali Hajizadeh, IRGC Navy Force Commander Brigadier General Alireza Tangsiri, Head of Basij (volunteer forces) Organization Gholamreza Soleimani. IRGC Quds Force Commander Brigadier General Esmaeil Gha’ani, Commander of Khatam al-Anbiya Construction Headquarters Brigadier General Abdolreza Abed, etc. met and held talks with the Iranian President-elect to discuss the current issues ongoing in the country.

Pezeshkian said that during the meeting, he was given a flag of the holy shrine of Imam Hussein (AS) as a gift.

Paying tribute to the third Shiite Imam as the master of the freedom-seekers of the world, the Iranian president-elect said hoisting this flag requires advocacy for justice, loyalty, devotion and courtesy.

 Pezeshkian received more than 16 million votes against former nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili with more than 13 million out of over 30 million votes cast, electoral authorities said.
