TEHRAN, Iran – The website of Iran's Revolutionary Guard is reporting that a general who fought in Syria and Iraq has allegedly accidentally killed himself while cleaning a gun.
Gen. Ghodratollah Mansouri allegedly shot himself in the head by accident while cleaning his pistol, according to the Sunday report.
The report added that Mansouri was veteran of the 1980s Iran-Iraq war and a "defender of the shrine," a reference to Iranians who fight against the extremist Islamic State (ISIS) group in Syria and Iraq.
Since 2014, Mansouri was a regional commander of the Guard's ground forces in the northeastern city of Mashhad, some 560 miles east of the capital Tehran.
Hundreds of Iranian forces have been killed fighting ISIS in Syria and Iraq.

If he was assinated, we must wonder why. Who done it?
Mossad has been suggested and I sugested Saudi Arabia but perhaps the best suspect is the Iranian government. There has been “unrest an turmoil” in the populace. It is not unreasonable to assume the dead general was sympathetic to the boiling revolution.
Darned bump stocks.
In Shia Islam lies are permitted for a number of religious reasons.
To find out who is truly responsible for this, we may have to wait for a high ranking officer in Israel or Saudi Arabia who ends up shooting himself while cleaning his pistol...
Tehranicide.
You have a lot more faith in the Saudi intelligence apparatus than I do.
Yeah, he was licking out the inside the barrel when it went off. /s
