News - Yemen: Iranian Armed Forces Chief of Staff Major General Abdulrahim Mousavi has offered heartfelt condolences over the martyrdom of Yemeni Chief of Staff Major General Mohammad Abdulkarim al-Ghamari, describing him as a visionary commander who played a decisive role in defending Yemen and championing the Palestinian cause.

Mousavi said al-Ghamari embodied faith, courage, and strategic wisdom, contributing significantly to Yemen’s defense and its steadfast support for the Palestinian resistance. He noted that the late commander’s actions were instrumental in countering Zionist crimes in Gaza and the US-Israeli attacks on Yemen, calling him “a symbol of resistance and a model of revolutionary leadership.”

Al-Ghamari, one of Yemen’s most prominent military figures, was martyred alongside his son and several companions in Uٍ-Israeli airstrikes targeting Yemen during the two-year-long Al-Aqsa Flood campaign. The Yemeni Armed Forces confirmed his martyrdom in a statement Thursday, announcing that the strikes also claimed the lives of numerous senior officials, ministers, and personnel from Yemen’s naval, missile, and air defense forces.

The Israeli enemy had made multiple assassination attempts against al-Ghamari before ultimately succeeding in the recent US-Israeli attack that claimed his life. These repeated attempts underscored the significance of al-Ghamari’s role in directing Yemen’s military operations and his central position in shaping the regional resistance front.

Al-Ghamari was widely regarded as the strategic architect behind many of Yemen’s long-range missile and drone campaigns that reshaped deterrence dynamics across the region. His martyrdom, observers say, further cements Yemen’s alignment with the regional Axis of Resistance and highlights the shared military and ideological coordination between Yemen, Iran, and Palestine.
