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

  • On Tuesday morning, the Israel Defense Forces confirmed they had killed Ali Shadmani, Iran's newly appointed top military commander, in an airstrike targeting central Tehran.
  • Just five days before his assassination, Shadmani was appointed by Ayatollah Khamenei to succeed Lt. Gen. Gholam Ali Rashid, who had been killed in an earlier airstrike amid Israel’s ongoing efforts to target senior Iranian military officials.
  • The targeted strike was conducted based on intelligence from the IDF Intelligence Branch and took place amid ongoing hostilities during which Iran launched a large-scale barrage of hundreds of projectiles and unmanned aerial vehicles targeting Israeli urban areas.
  • On Monday evening, President Donald Trump took to his social media platform to call for the immediate evacuation of Tehran and emphatically stated that Iran must not acquire a nuclear weapon, while Iranian officials cautioned that they would respond more forcefully if the U.S. fails to curb Israeli actions.
  • The killing of Shadmani further weakens Iran's military command amid escalating conflict, with uncertainty over his replacement and increased concerns of broader regional instability.
