Tehran-Sana
Gen. Ali Ayoub, Minister of Defense, presented the Medal of the Hero of the Syrian Arab Republic, which President Bashar Al-Assad granted to the martyr General Qassem Soleimani to the Minister of Defense and the Iranian Armed Forces, Brigadier Amir Hatimi.
In turn, Hatami expressed thanks and appreciation for the sympathy of senior Syrian officials with the government and people of Iran for the martyrdom of General Soleimani, stressing that the path of resistance will remain continuous and that had it not been for the sacrifices of the heroes of the resistance front, including the Syrian armed forces, the terrorist organization "ISIS" would have seized large places in the region.
