The Iranian news agency “Mehr” reported today (Tuesday) that Brigadier Ismail Qawni, commander of the “Al -Quds Force” of the “Revolutionary Guards” is still alive, noting his participation in a popular gathering in Tehran.
The Iranian Agency added that Qaana, who reported that he was killed at the beginning of Israeli attacks on Iran 12 days ago with other senior military leaders, participated in the popular assembly supporting the armed forces that started this afternoon in a “coup square” in the center of the capital.
The Israeli army had announced that it had killed more than 20 major military commanders in its attacks on Iran, which began at dawn on Friday, June 13th.
US President Donald Trump announced earlier today, the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Iran.
Israel published a list of Iranian officials targeted by military operations. The anticipation prevailed over the fate of Qawni, the commander of the “Quds Force”, the official of the “Revolutionary Guards” external operations.
On Friday, Iranian reporting correspondent in the New York Times quoted Iranian sources as saying that Qaana was killed in the Israeli attack on Iran.
And Sunday, the Israeli Affairs correspondent in the New York Times, Ronin Bergman wrote: “In the month that preceded the Israeli attack on Iran, a marathon of discussions took place at the highest levels of the intelligence community and the defense institution, dealing with the question that is formulated in Mossad terms as follows, Who will be on the (Burch) list? ”
And “Tabbash” is the Mossad term for negative therapy, and it is the symbolic name of assassination, liquidation or targeted frustration, according to Bergman’s publication on the X platform.
He pointed out that the list, which was described as “happy”, as one of the participants in these meetings called it, was the inclusion of Iranian leaders in it ultimately dependent on two factors: “The extent of their ranks, and an appropriate opportunity.”
He added, “There was no debate about one name. Rather, it was certain that if he had read the list, he would have been the most annoying, not because of his inclusion, but because of the complete consensus not to include, as he is not worth it.
He touched on the unknown destiny, and the possibility of killing him in the air strikes, but he said: “It is certain that the Israeli appreciation believed that his influence is imperceptible, despite his high position, and therefore his death will not be effective or important.”
