Irlou who had tested positive for COVID-19 in Yemen last week passed away on Tuesday after coming back to Iran for remedy.
Speaking in the concession ceremony of Irlou, Dailami said that the late ambassador was the best person to represent Iran in Yemen and the Yemeni people would never forget his struggles for Yemen.
Irlou had been also suffering from injuries inflicted by chemical weapons used by the ousted regime of Saddam Hussein during the eight-year war between Iran and Iraq in the 1980s.
Iran's Foreign Ministry has said that he was brought back to Iran in an inappropriate condition due to a delay in required cooperation by some countries in the region.
Iran had contacted some states in the region to bring Irlou back to the country.
