On Saturday 1st of September 2007, Brigadier General Mohhamad Ali Jafari, also knows as Aziz Jafari, was appointed as the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corp (IRGC).

However today another important revelation was made about Jafari’s past. Farda News, an Iranian news agency based in Tehran, revealed that prior to the outbreak of the war, Jafari was in fact involved in the takeover of the US embassy in Tehran, which took place on 4th of November 1979. This important disclosure is an important explanation for those wishing to know why Jafari rose through the IRGC ranks so quickly after joining as a simple Baseeji soldier. People who took part in the takeover established important contacts with the other hostage takers who later rose through the ranks, as well as government officials who were running the operation.
