NEW DELHI: Amid the ongoing war with Tehran, the Israeli Defence Force, IDF, claimed that it has killed a top Iranian commander. IDF said on Tuesday (June 17) that the head of IRGC’s Khatam-al Anbiya Central Headquarters, Ali Shadmani, has been assassinated in an attack on Tehran.
This came just days after Shadmani was appointed to the post after the assassination of the predecessor by Israel.
On June 13, the Iranian Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, appointed Shadmani after the previous head of the IRGC, Lt. Gen. Gholamali Rashid, was killed.
"In view of Lt. Gen. Gholamali Rashid’s martyrdom at the hands of the vile Zionist regime, and in light of Major General Ali Shadmani's meritorious services & valuable experience, I confer the rank of Major Gen. & appoint him Commander of the Khatam al-Anbiya (pbuh) Central HQ," Khamenei wrote in his post on the social media platform X while announcing the new head.
