Israel's Friday morning strikes on Tehran resulted in the deaths of three high-ranking Iranian military officials: Maj. Gen. Mohammad Bagheri (chief of staff), Gen. Hossein Salami (commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps), and Gen. Gholamali Rashid (deputy commander in chief). Additionally, two prominent nuclear scientists, Fereydoun Abbasi and Mohammad Mehdi Tehranchi, were also assassinated.
The targeted killings represent a significant blow to Iran's military leadership. The loss of these key figures is expected to have substantial consequences for Iran's military operations and strategic planning.
The assassination of two leading nuclear scientists further raises concerns about the potential impact on Iran's nuclear program. Their deaths could disrupt ongoing research and development efforts, though the long-term effects are difficult to assess immediately.
The Israeli military has confirmed the deaths of the three Iranian commanders.
