For the second time: The IDF has eliminated the Chief of Staff of the War, the most senior military commander of the Iranian regime
Following accurate intelligence received by the Intelligence Branch and an explosive opportunity during the night, Air Force fighter jets attacked a manned headquarters in the heart of Tehran and eliminated Ali Shadmani, the Chief of Staff of the War, the most senior military commander and the man closest to Iranian Leader Ali Khamenei.
Shadmani served as the Chief of Staff of the War and Commander of the Emergency Command of the Armed Forces.
Shadmani commanded the Revolutionary Guards and the Iranian army.
Appointed at the beginning of the operation to command the Iranian armed forces, after being promoted, Alam Ali Rashid was eliminated in the opening blow of Operation "Am Kalavi."
The "Khatem al-Anbiya" emergency command under his command is responsible for managing combat and approving Iranian fire plans.
