A military adviser from Iran's Revolutionary Guard's Aerospace force, Colonel Ahmadreza Afshari, has died from injuries sustained in Syria, according to a report by IRGC-affiliated media.
"Colonel Ahmadreza Afshari was martyred today [on Thursday] due to injuries sustained from aerial bombardment by the coalition violating Syria," said the chief commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, Hossein Salami.
While the exact date of the strike was not released, Iranian media indicated that Afshari’s injuries were sustained between late July and early August.
The US and Israel have both conducted strikes in Syria targeting Iran-aligned factions, as Tehran's influence has steadily increased since it began supporting President Bashar al-Assad in the Syrian civil war, which erupted in 2011.
