STORYLINE:

The chief commander of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Quds Force, Esmaeil Qaani, attended the funeral of senior IRGC commander Abbas Nilforoushan on Tuesday in Tehran, the Iranian capital. 

Nilforoushan was killed on Sept. 27 alongside Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah at a meeting by a massive targeted strike on the Lebanese group's headquarters in Dahieh, a southern suburb of Lebanon's capital Beirut.

Qaani's public appearance at the funeral dismissed media reports regarding his condition following an Israeli attack in Beirut.

Israeli and Western media claimed that Qaani might have been "wounded or killed" in the attack.
   
Speculation about Qaani's condition began after Israel's Channel 12 reported that he might have been caught in an airstrike on Beirut's Dahieh neighborhood on Oct. 3.
