️I met Martyr Pakpour at the beginning of the Sacred Defense when he was working with Fathullah Jafari to establish the IRGC's armored division and organize hundreds of tanks and personnel carriers that had been captured from the Baathist enemy in the victorious operations of Fath al-Mubin and Beit al-Maqdis into armored battalions of IRGC divisions and armored divisions. I was also working with Martyr Tehrani Moghadam and Martyr Shafizadeh to organize the captured artillery and we would consult and exchange ideas.
️Strong faith, courage, perseverance, patience and endurance, combat and operational spirit were among the qualities that made him an efficient and effective commander and manager in the eight years of the Sacred Defense. His constant and active presence in the majority of operations and his continuous efforts to improve the readiness of the IRGC's armored division had placed him among the effective commanders of the IRGC's combat organization.
️After the end of the war, as the deputy commander of the IRGC's operations, he used his experiences to prepare defense plans to confront the threats of global arrogance and Zionism against the regime.
️Among the important milestones of Shahid Pakpour's service was his active presence in the resistance axis as the commander of the Lebanese IRGC, who fought alongside and alongside Martyr Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah in the Thirty-Three Day War against the illegitimate Zionist regime.
️Another brilliant part of Shahid Pakpour's struggles was in the guise of commander of the IRGC's ground forces, which was approved by the Supreme Commander-in-Chief due to his merit, sincere efforts, and honest service, and continued for sixteen years.
️He devoted himself to improving the combat readiness of the units, strengthening and strengthening the organizational strength of the armored and artillery units, and paying attention to training and exercises.
️Among Shahid Pakpour's valuable activities was the field of security and confronting the threats that were created in the southeast by groups that were funded by Arab oil dollars and organized and equipped by the CIA and Mossad.
️His presence and selfless efforts in the border areas, carrying out numerous operations, mobilizing and equipping native tribes, and creating unity of action with the Faraj, neutralized the plots of regional and trans-regional enemies against the Islamic Republic.
️In the northwest, he also carried out numerous and effective artillery and missile strikes and innovative operations against the PJAK and counter-revolutionary groups, which were carried out with the perseverance and active presence of Martyr Pakpour at the scene. His measures neutralized the counter-revolution and stabilized security.
After the martyrdom of the sincere, hardworking, and scholarly commander of the IRGC, Martyr Salami, Martyr Pakpour, who was always in the care and attention of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, was immediately appointed to the command of the IRGC.
️The last chapter of his fruitful life, which took place after the 12-day war, was his round-the-clock efforts to compensate for the damage and increase the strength of the Air Force, Navy, and other departments involved in the war with America and the Zionist regime, and to prepare operational and tactical plans and improve the readiness of the combat organization, so that with the beginning of the Ramadan War, everyone witnessed the emergence of wonders on the battlefield and the fruition of the exhausting efforts of this tireless and indefatigable martyr and other commanders and managers under his command.
May his soul be happy and reunited with the Master of Martyrs.
