Iran denies the loss of the commander of the Holy City Brigade

According to Iranian media reports on October 8th, the Iranian Revolutionary Guards denied rumors that their subordinate commander Ismail Kani of the ‘Holy City Brigade’ had gone missing on October 7th. Israeli media recently reported that Kani went missing during an attack on the southern suburbs of Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, launched by the Israeli military on October 4th local time. According to Israeli media reports, the target of the Israeli military’s airstrike was Hashem Safieddine, the head of the Hezbollah Executive Council in Lebanon, who is widely regarded as the successor to the late Hezbollah leader Nasrallah, not Kani.
