In the airstrike carried out by Israel on the Iranian Consulate yesterday, 13 people lost their lives, including Zahedi, the Commander of the Quds Force responsible for Syria and Lebanon of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, as well as Zahedi's deputies Mohammad Hadi Rahimi and Hossein Aminullah.
