On April 18, 2021, Mohammad Hejazi, deputy commander of the Quds Forces, died. His death is the second blow to Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) command in the 16 months following Qassem Soleimani's death in January 2020. This may have major repercussions for the Iranian regime because it is really the Quds Forces that have controlled the government for decades.
After President Trump ordered Soleimani's assassination, the Quds Forces lost the mastermind behind planning attacks and controlling the regime's proxy forces in the Middle East. However, immediately after Soleimani's death, Ayatollah Khamenei appointed Mohammad Hejazi to the position of deputy commander of the Quds Forces, working under the new commander, Esmail Qaani.
Hejazi brought with him a long and significant history that helped maintain continuity. He joined the IRGC after the Islamic Republic took power and was the commander of the Basij for ten years. During Khomeini's long Iran-Iraq War, Hejzi played an important role in sending young students to the southern front to clear minefields. After the war, Hejazi was responsible for suppressing political dissent and ethnic minorities in Kurdistan and West Azerbaijan.
Hejazi oversaw Tehran's Sarallah base during the post-presidential protests in 2010, which was the organ charged with suppressing the protests in the capital. Dozens of people were killed and thousands detained during these protests.
His role in cracking down on protesters and violating human rights put Hejazi on both United States and E.U. sanctions list. In 2019, the Israeli military launched an unprecedented Twitter campaign tying Hejazi to a secret project with Hezb'allah to manufacture precision-guided missiles intended to attack Israel.
The IRGC public relations department issued a statement that he'd died from a heart condition.

Well there’s some good news...
Golly, I guess Kerry gave Iran some bad intel (/s)
So, who pushed the button?
Clean minefields as in walk into them and get blown up.
Yeah, it stopped beating. Probably CoVid.
The next guy must want to do this...
I have my guess as how or who or how they might have accelerated his leaving this earthly plain, but they don't talk about, especially with Slo-Jo at the helm as he stabs our greatest ally in the back like his old boss did.
When they got Soleimani do you my fellow freepers realize how big that was? This guy had his bomb makers tweak the IED's to truly "damage" our boys, it's a famly program, you know the drill. Laura Ingraham talked about it once, 1498 is the number waiting, only 2 got transplants. No wonder our vets were so happy when he got wacked, He was one evil MoFo.
The kicker is the Israeli's wanted to get him a number of years ago and as a courtesy, they told BHO, who in-turn told the Iranians.
Truly trying times....
” Soleimani’s assassination,”
YGBSM
Killing an enemy combatant engaged in a hostile act is hardly an “assassination”
Freaking MSM
That line is the one that caught my attention as well. Apparently in Iran you qualify as a military genius and an enlightened leader by using those most vulnerable under your command as minefield fodder.
his arteries were clogged up with lead ...
In the old days it was called as a 'good shot guys'.
