Two cyclists shot to death IRGC Quds Force member Colonel Hassan Sayyad Khodaei on Sunday evening in front of his house in Tehran.
Sharif said that Martyr Sayyad Khodaei had devoted his life to safeguarding independence and security of Iran and its people and the Islamic Republic establishment.
The spokesman noted that the foes won’t go anywhere by committing such criminal acts against the Iranian nation and the Muslim Ummah.
Martyrdom of Sayyad Khodaei would strengthen IRGC’s determination to confront enemies of Iran, he said, singling out the United States and the Zionist Regime.
