Tehran Times:
In mid-November 2011, a huge blast at the Alqadir missile base at Bid Ganeh, 30 miles to the west of Tehran, killed 17 of Iran’s elite forces of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps, including Major General Hassan Tehrani Moqaddam. He was described as the pioneer of Iran’s missile program.
“Martyr Tehrani Moqaddam’s efforts caused Iran to be the first missile power in the region,” Major General Mohammad Hossein Baqeri said on the sidelines of the Basij achievements exhibition.
He further said, “Today, the Islamic Republic of Iran, similar to its sustainable might in hardware war and defense fields, has also attained great achievements in software war.”
