Esmail Qaani, the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force, was last seen in Beirut last week to help the Hezbollah terror group recover from a wave of Israeli attacks, three unnamed Iranian officials tell The New York Times, amid media speculation he was killed in an airstrike.
An anonymous IRGC member stationed in Beirut also tells The Times that Iran’s silence on the matter is sparking panic among the paramilitary force’s personnel.
