Salami made the remarks while paying Martyr Hassan Sayyad Khodaei’s family a visit on Monday. Khodaei was assassinated last Sunday in Tehran in front of his house.
Salami said that those martyrs assassinated by Zionists have a higher status because they have been killed by the worst people on earth.
The top commander vowed the IRGC will take revenge on the foes for the assassination, as it was people’s demand.
Khodaei’s martyrdom earned him global fame, Salami said, adding that he was universally cherished, while he was an unknown IRGC member before his martyrdom.
The foes chased him door to door from the heart of the White House and Tel Aviv for years until they martyred him in a corner in Tehran, the commander noted.
