Top Iranian officials claim that the deaths of military experts at the Bid Ganeh base on Nov. 12 "had no effect on the self-sufficiency unit" of the IRGC. The blast killed at least 36 members of the IRGC, including the "Godfather" of Iran's ballistic missile program, Major General Hassan Moqaddam. France is temporarily reducing staff at its embassy in Iran.
