Biography
[edit]He was a member of the IRGC during the Iran–Iraq War.[3] Jalali holds a Master's degree in Architectural Engineering and a Master's degree in Defense Sciences. Before his appointment as the head of the Passive Defense Organization, he headed the Engineering Department of the Joint Staff of the IRGC. As a legal entity, he became a member of the Supreme Council for Cyberspace and the Supreme Council of the Red Crescent Society in the 13th government. In August 2012, Jalali said ahead of Al-Quds Day that Israel must be destroyed, saying, "[Al-Quds Day] is a reflection of the fact that no other way exists apart from resolve and strength to completely eliminate the aggressive nature and to destroy Israel." He added that the Muslim world is required to support the "oppressed people of Palestine" against "the Zionist usurpers", that the Islamic Revolution was a "beacon of light" and that the "Islamic front in Syria" had strengthened.[4][5][6] In 2018 Jalali claimed that his country fended off a Stuxnet-like attack targeting the country's telecom infrastructure.[7]
