Hassanzadeh served as the Brigadier General and commander of the Mohammad Rasulallah Corps, the IRGC unit tasked with overseeing security in Tehran and its surrounding areas. His responsibilities included command over Basij forces and coordination of internal security operations, particularly during periods of civil unrest.
Hassanzadeh, as commander of the IRGC's Mohammad Rasulallah Corps in Tehran, played a central role in the violent suppression of the December 2025–January 2026 protests.
He oversaw IRGC and Basij forces responsible for deploying live ammunition, tear gas, and mass arrests against largely peaceful protesters in Tehran. Security operations under his command included raids on hospitals to detain injured demonstrators, a tactic documented in Tehran and other provinces. The crackdown resulted in dozens of civilian deaths, including children, with human rights groups estimating over 3,400 killed and tens of thousands arrested nationwide.
Hassanzadeh was part of the regime's hardline response, aligning with Supreme Leader Khamenei’s directive to treat protesters as “rioters” who must be “put in their place.” His forces were specifically implicated in violent dispersals in Tehran’s Grand Bazaar, Shoush, Molavi, and university areas, where internet blackouts and media restrictions were used to obscure the scale of repression.
He was a sanctioned individual by several Western governments, including the UK and Canada, due to his involvement in human rights violations during the crackdown on anti-government protests in 2022. The U.S. Treasury designated him under Executive Order 13553 for acting on behalf of the IRGC, which is designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization.

Koran fine pring: If killed by infidel you become 72 virgins.
And the hits keep comin’.
Hope springs eternal.
Yeah, I found this one trying to figure out what the other guy who was whacked (illegal oil exporter for weapons) did.
Our media is doing a crap job reporting the hits. I learning how to translate quickly from Persian. I can read Arabic at a college level (mom’s family is Lebanese), so I am trolling a lot of websites I’ve never bothered with.
Very hard to find a website in English that reports the news.
Hassan-la vista baby!
Would he be a distant relative to Roseanne Rosannadanna?
RIP Gilda

Remember the playing cards President Trump had on the Iraq leaders? I wish Trump could provide us with something helpful to keep score on all the bad guys that have been exterminated!
Oops, I meant to say President Bush regarding the Iraq war!
Handing out candy. 😏
Several Freepers from a thread this morning are saddened at this turn of events.
Satan is going to run out of virgins soon.
