General Esmail Qaani, commander of the Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Force, “resurfaced” on a video released on social networks on Monday (24). The images show Qaani allegedly participating in the celebration of the ceasefire in Tehran.
After Israel’s attacks on the 13th, international vehicles such as the The New York Times They reported, based on sources of the Iranian regime, that Qaani would have been eliminated with other military targets of Israel. However, to date, neither Islamic Dictatorship nor Israel’s defense forces (FDI) have officially confirmed the information.
The video released on Monday shows Qaani allegedly greeted by the citizens present at the Celebration in Tehran of the ceasefire between Israel and Iran, which is already in force.

According to international newspapers, this would not be the first time when Qaani has his death announced prematurely. Last year, he was also dead after an Israeli attack on Beirut, Lebanon, who eliminated the then new leader of the terrorist group Hezbollah, Hashim Safi Al Din. Unconfirmed rumors also circulate that Qaani could be an infiltrated agent of Israel, but such a hypothesis loses strength in the face of the general’s recent appearance at a public event promoted by the Islamic regime in Tehran.
The QDS Force, commanded by Qaani since the death of Qasem Soleimani, eliminated by the US in 2020, is considered Iran’s strategic arm to coordinate indirect military operations, acting in Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Yemen and Gaza.
