Leader of the Islamic Revolution His Eminence Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei appointed a new commander for the Iranian Army and second-in-command for the Iranian Armed Forces' chief of staff.
In a decree on Monday, Imam Khamenei appointed Major General Ataollah Salehi as new second-in-command for the Iranian Armed Forces' chief of staff upon a proposal by Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Baqeri.
The Imam thanked great efforts by Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi who previously held the post, prompting his in another decree from the rank of brigadier general, as the new commander of Iran's Army given his commitment, competency and experience.
On the same occasion, the Imam highlighted the role of new generation in defending Iran's 1979 Islamic revolution.
Today, many young are ready to give up their comfortable life and attend the frontlines of Jihad [resistance] for defending the Islamic values, the Imam said in a reference to Martyr Mohsen Hojajji, 25-year-old young Iranian military advisor in Syria beheaded by Daesh [ISIS/ISIL] terrorists recently.
The Imam called for the elevation of revolutionary spirit among the younger generation and urged use of all capacities to impede the enemy's harmful propaganda.
Following a US strike against the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces [Hashd al-Shaabi], Daesh used the opportunity to attack the Syrian troops deployed along the borders with Iraq in which martyr Hojajji was taken hostage by the terrorist group elements and beheaded later on camera.
