IRGC denies claims General Soleimani killed in Damascus bombing

TEHRAN,July 23(MNA)– The head of the public relations department of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps, Brigadier General Ramezan Sharif, has dismissed news reports claiming that the commander of the Qods Force of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps, Major General Qassem Soleimani, had been killed in a blast at the headquarters of the National Security Bureau in Damascus on July 18. “Given the recent incidents in Syria and Iran’s support for resistance in Palestine, certain Arab media outlets, along with their Western counterparts, have launched a propaganda campaign against Iran in an immoral and hostile way,” Sharif told Al-Alam News Network in an interview published on Sunday.
