The body of General Abbas Nilforoushan arrived in Tehran on Tuesday morning.
A number of Iranian statesmen and military officials attended a ceremony welcoming the martyred IRGC general at the Mehrabad International Airport.
Nilforoushan was martyred during intense Israeli airstrikes against Dahiyeh that also led to the martyrdom of the Lebanese Resistance movement Hezbollah’s Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.
In a statement on Friday, the IRGC said that Major General Nilforoushan’s body was recovered after day and night efforts of a search group, adding that the Iranian general was martyred in the savage attack by bloodthirsty Zionist regime on September 27 in Dahiyeh of Beirut, along with Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah, the late Secretary General of Hezbollah of Lebanon.
The statement further said that a funeral ceremony will be held once the body of the martyr is returned to his homeland.

A large number of people from different walks of life have also attended the farewell ceremony of martyr Nilforoushan.
