Israel says it has 'eliminated' Iran's new top military commander

IRAN, JUN 17 – Israel's targeted airstrike killed Major General Ali Shadmani, disrupting Iran's military command amid a campaign that has killed at least 224 people, Israeli officials said.

  • In the early hours of Tuesday, the Israel Defense Forces confirmed they carried out a precise airstrike in central Tehran that killed Ali Shadmani, Iran’s newly appointed top military commander.
  • Five days prior, Supreme Leader Khamenei appointed Shadmani as the new leader following the death of Lt. Gen. Gholam Ali Rashid, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike on Friday.
  • The strike followed actionable intelligence within a broader Israeli strategy to disrupt Iran's military leadership and degrade its capacity to wage coordinated regional attacks.
  • On Monday night, President Trump warned on social media that "IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON" and urged Tehran residents to "immediately evacuate," while Reza Pahlavi called on Iran's military to reject the regime.
  • The assassination signals a continued Israeli campaign targeting Iran’s senior commanders amid ongoing hostilities and raises uncertainty over Shadmani’s successor.
