In the Name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful
With deep regret I have received news of the passing of the honorable commander, Gen. Sayyid Mohammad Hejazi, may God be content with him. Lifelong struggle, dynamic thinking, a heart full of true faith accompanied by motivation and determination, and a force totally devoted to serving Islam and the Revolution is a summary of the characteristics of this fighter for the cause of God.
He took on great, influential responsibilities in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and carried out all of these responsibilities with honor and success. Having lost him is truly a source of regret and sorrow. I consider it necessary to offer my sincere condolences to his honorable wife, children and other family members and also to his friends and colleagues. I ask God, the Almighty, to grant them patience and consolation. May God’s mercy and forgiveness be upon this newly deceased brother.
