Iranian commander Esmail Qaani on Tuesday appeared in public after weeks of absence to attend the funeral ceremony for general Abbas Nilforoushan, who was killed last month in Lebanon. Nilforoushan, a general in Iran's Revolutionary Guards, was killed in an Israeli strike on Beirut alongside Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah. Qaani – who heads the Quds Force, the Revolutionary Guards' foreign operations arm – had disappeared from public view and was rumoured in some media to have been targeted in an Israeli strike on Lebanon.
