Ahmdad Motevaselian (Persian: احمد متوسلیان), an Iranian military attache, was one of four Iranians that disappeared in Lebanon in 1982. During the Iran-Iraq war, he was a commander in the Army of the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution and established the 27th Muhammad Rasool-Allah Division of Tehran. He played a role in the Liberation of Khorramshahr and later, as part of a senior diplomatic group of political and military leaders, went to Syria. On 5 July 1982, when the vehicle carrying the diplomats was passing through a checkpoint post on its way to Beirut, it was intercepted by Phalange Party. The car and four passengers, completely disappeared.
Iran has accused Israel of kidnapping and holding them in Israeli jails and covering up their fate. Israel has said it is not aware of the fate of the diplomats. Iran called on the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to investigate their whereabouts. Three decades after the incident, the fate of the missing diplomats remains a mystery, and the search for Motevaselian and the other Iranians continues. Three decades after the incident, the fate of the missing diplomats remains a mystery but it is assumed that shortly after their abduction, they were executed by the Phalange.
