On March 23 and 24, the corpses of150 Guards killed on Iraqi soil were transferred to Tehran via the western and southwestern borders. The large number of dead prohibited the regime from identifying them before burial. The corpses were filmed for later identification. In just one day, the GC Command in Kermanshah sent 3,000 coffins to Qasr-Shirin. Such figures do not include the large number of Guards' corpses left in Iraq.
The Khomeini regime attempted to prevent news about the Guards Corps' heavy
casualties from leaking out. The Guards Corps did not even allow visits
to the wounded by their families. Despite such strict censorship, the Mojahedin
announced the names of 150 GC commanders and members killed by March 20
in attacks on the Iranian Resistance's bases.
Recent information from Iran indicates that the naval unit commander of the Guards Corps' 39th Nabi-Akram Brigade, Haj Hamed Yaqubinejad, and seven more commanders were killed in attacks on NLA bases. On May 5, the Khomeini regime declared a day of mourning in the city of Kermanshah and held a memorial service for the large number of Guards from the 39th Brigade killed over a month before in clashes with the NLA.
