The fate of Iranian military attaché Ahmad Motevaselian, who disappeared in Beirut in 1982 along with three other Iranians, has been confirmed by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) after 41 years of mystery and conflicting accounts.
During a meeting with Motevaselian’s family on Saturday, the head of the IRGC, Hossein Salami, referred to Motevaselian as a “martyr,” the first official confirmation of his death. Iran had previously claimed that he was captured by Israelis.
