Channel 3 director Ali Asgar Farahmandi said the series about Moqaddam, the "architect" of Iran's missile defenses, will be produced in cooperation with the IRGC. Filming is expected to conclude by the first anniversary of the officer's death, said the director.

The explosion at the arms depot, which killed 18 people, was the result of a technical malfunction.

Brigadier General Moqaddam, hailed as the founder of Iran's missile program, was the most senior casualty.

In an obituary published by the IRGC after Moqaddam's martyrdom, the IRGC vowed to continue in his "path."

Moqaddam, according to the obituary, was one of the "cornerstones" of the IRGC's artillery and missile units during the Iraqi imposed war on Iran.

"We will continue in his path and in the paths of the rest of the martyrs - a path of courage, advancement and growing deterrence of the Islamic Republic and homeland," the obituary read.

The officer reportedly served as a researcher at a Tehran university and headed the "Jihad Self-Sufficiency" unit, mostly tasked with developing arms and missiles.
