According to another version, the general died as a result of the action ... of the American special forces

These are the same "people"

[Pessimist22]

died at the hands of militants of the Islamic State terrorist group banned in Russia, as a result of the actions of Israeli or American special forces operating undercover in the area.
This is how it will be more truthful.

Quite right! So it will be truer!
At the same time, it is enough to look at the military map of the location of Al-Bukmal (at least the wartime of 2015) to make everything clear.
Here is the shortest distance directly to the American bases in Iraq.

As a rule, Iran recognizes the facts of attempts on its citizens, while promising to answer.
According to Iranian data, the General died from the coronavirus ... The news raises a lot of questions about the cause of death.

Quote: Hunter 2

The general died from the coronavirus ...

There are too many losses among the high command of the IRGC ... the number of generals and colonels killed is in the tens ... Apparently, problems in the security system of high-ranking military personnel in Iran are of no interest to anyone.

Unfortunately, in Russia, officers also periodically "kill themselves", as well as engineers from the military-industrial complex die under different circumstances.

someone opened the hunting season for Iranian senior officers of the IRGC.

In Iran itself, the fact of Dahan's murder is not confirmed, stating that he died from the coronavirus.

Exactly. Here, the previous murder has not really paid off ... Yes, and Biden is on the nose, so I want to make friends with him

[evgen1221]

It seems to me that the American-Israeli partners worked unambiguously. Only they benefit from chaos. Iran in Syria can be understood - neighbors and barmaley on their borders are not very eager to endure.

[Iris]

Sure you may ! It's a neighborly way to store missiles and train terrorists. This is normal between neighbors.

There is only one small but ... Iran and Syria have no common borders .. Iraq is between them ..

[Butchcassidy]

Stylistic mistake in the title: you can eliminate someone who is a terrorist, criminal, etc. Azad Hassan Dahan was, like our contingent, at the invitation of the legitimate government of Syria.

[Iris]

Anyone can be liquidated.
Even a terrorist who is visiting the legitimate government of Syria.

Sorry for him, of course, but he was not a botanist who catches butterflies with a butterfly net. The question is: where does it come from?

[air defense]

There is a good book
Prisoner: My 544 Days in an Iranian Prison ― Solitary Confinement, a Sham Trial, High-Stakes Diplomacy, and the Extraordinary Efforts It Took to Get Me Out
https://www.amazon.com/Prisoner-Prison_Solitary-Confinement-High-Stakes-Extraordinary/dp/0062691589/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=544+days+in+prison&qid=1610622780&s=books&sr=1-1

I don't know if it is in Russian, quite an interesting look at the structure of Iran from a man who was suspected of working against Iran and who spent 544 in an Iranian prison, he describes how the interrogations took place, how the charges were built, prof. the quality of employees and Iran on the one hand seem to be a real strength, but on the other hand, the great influence of religious leaders hinders the normal selection of professional personnel.

Isn't that the same thing?

[Krasnodar]

Not, not the same
Can you imagine girls in bikinis on the beach or on the street in a miniskirt in the Islamic State-controlled or Islamic Republic of Iran?
And in Tel Aviv and Miami?
A mobile phone or a computer device developed in the Islamic State or the Islamic Republic of Iran, can you imagine?
Are you familiar with iPhone and USB flash drive?
An ordinary party in a nightclub somewhere in Iraq or Tehran, how quickly IS or Basij fighters will be dispersed, can you imagine?
And for someone to pursue the joint dances of boys and girls and drinking alcohol in Haifa or Manhattan?
Here's the same thing for you
At the same time, you can continue the analogy - a beach in Sochi, Kaspersky antivirus, Soho Rooms in Moscow, and imagine something similar in the territory controlled by ISIS or in Iran.
You just have to think - why are we in Syria, who are the Iranians, etc.

[Dzafdet]

Why unknown. Address: Tel Aviv, Mossad ....

[Iris]

And they don't care anymore, to chase the IRGC all over Syria? No Mossad can get enough of them! If there were Israelis, they would blast a rocket, and all the business.
There is a lot of honor, personally to liquidate it.

[Revolver]

This "virus", imprisoned specifically for the ranks of the IRGC, is smart, knows whom to bite.

It is said: V-I-R-U-S! Don't you believe Iran ?!
