Brigadier General Hossein Salami (Persian: حسین سلامی) is the deputy commander of IRGC.
Hossein Salami was born on 1960 in the Golpayegan, Isfahan province, Iran. In 1978, he accepted in the mechanical engineering at the Iran University of Science and Technology. When Iran-Iraq war started, he joined Army of the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution and went to the battle. After the war, he continued his study and graduated in the Master's degree of defense management.
At a sermon in Tehran that aired on IRIB TV on July 1, 2016, Salami stated that "Today, more than ever, there is fertile ground - with the grace of God - for the annihilation, the wiping out, and the collapse of the Zionist regime." Salami claimed that "only in Lebanon, more than 100,000 Qaem missiles are ready for launch… so that any time the Zionist regime seeks to repeat its previous mistakes with miscalculations, these missiles would… come down on the heart of the Zionist regime and be the prelude for a big collapse in the modern era... They are just waiting for the command, so that when the trigger is pulled, the accursed black dot will be wiped off the geopolitical map of the world, once and for all."
