Iran is
mourning the death of Brigadier General Abbas Nilforoushan, the Deputy Commander of Operations for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Two years ago, Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Kurdish Iranian woman, was arrested by the Iranian moral police because of an "improper hijab" and was killed by the police.
Large protests erupted, and the Iranian security forces responded with lethal force, killing over 550 protesters, including 68 children and 49 women,
Abbas Nilforoushan was one of the key figures in the crackdown on freedoms.
As a result, Nilforoushan was sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury Department. After he justified the deaths by saying “for subversion, one must pass through a sea of blood,” he and 17 others were added to the European Union’s sanctions list.
Anyone who cares about women's rights should cheer his death.
Nilforoushan said that "America's retreat from Afghanistan was a major victory for the region's nations." He also showed sympathy for the Taliban, saying, “I believe the Taliban have now understood that Afghanistan is made up of various ethnic groups and sects, and together, they form Afghanistan. I think the Taliban have reached a proper understanding of this and can no longer ignore the role of ethnic groups or women in Afghanistan.”
This is besides his hateful rhetoric about Israel and the West.
During a ceremony mourning Qassem Soleimani, he said, “Soleimani’s followers will soon bring the Zionist criminals out of their hiding places in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv and avenge the blood of the Palestinians.”
In 2023, he said, "We warn the West not to repeat past mistakes. Don’t make us put our boots from the 1980s back on, or you’ll find yourselves begging again. We settle accounts with our enemies, and we don’t leave debts unpaid; you can ask the Zionist regime about that."
