An Iranian agency announced on Monday night the death of a commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard in Syria.
Iran’s state-run media said that General Abolfazl Alijani was killed as he was serving as a “military advisor” in the country, adding that he was from the central city of Esfahan.
According to analysis, Iran is taking advantage of Russia’s preoccupation with the military operation in Ukraine to consolidate its influence in Syria.
The Iranian militia has spread recently, in many scattered strategic locations in the country after the withdrawal of pro-Russian factions.
These moves included redeployment and repositioning operations for fear of any Israeli targeting operations.
