With a series of deadly bumps against military and nuclear targets in Iran, Israel has murdered several senior armed forces and the body of the Revolutionary Guards, as well as scientists specializing in the nuclear sector.
General Mohammad Bageri, leader of the Iranian Armed Forces General Staff since 2016, worked directly under the jurisdiction of the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, having the latest say in decision -making in Iran and leader.
Born in June 1960, Bageri was the most high -ranking Iranian official: he had power at the same time over the National Army, the Security Forces and, in particular, on the Guards of the Revolution, the strong ideological army of the Islamic Republic.
He often appeared in television uniforms, mainly to inaugurate underground military bases and played an important role in the development of the Iranian ballistic program.
These rockets were originally designed by Iran to offset the weakness of its air fleet during the war against Iraq (1980-1988). ‘Since then they have not stopped winning in range and accuracy.
Israel, which is separated about 1,500 km from Iran, has long seen in this arsenal an existential threat from its stupid enemy.
Last year, Iran had used hundreds of rockets and unmanned aircraft built locally to attack Israeli territory twice.
“The Zionist enemy should know that he is approaching the end of his miserable life,” General Bageri had said, then calling Israel “cancerous tumor”.
In 2022, Bageri had stated that Iran “were more than self -sufficient arms and equipment” and that he would, as he said, be made by one of the largest weapons exporters in the world if US sanctions were removed.
Bageri was a goal of US sanctions during the first term of President Donald Trump (2017-2021), and after the European Union due to the War in Ukraine.
Bageri had succeeded the former Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces Hassan Firouzabadi, who served in this position for 26 years (1989-2016).
Hossein Salami, leader of the body of the Islamic Revolution Guards, was a high -ranking affair to the Supreme Leader, known for his aggressive rhetoric against Israel and his American ally.
“If you commit the slightest mistake, we will open the doors of the hell for you,” he warned recently indicating a possible attack.
Iranian state television had introduced him to order his forces to launch the operation against Israel during the Iranian attack with unmanned aircraft and missiles in April 2024 against Israeli territory.
Born in 1960, a fighter in the Iran-Iraq war (1980-1988), Salami joined the Guards of the Revolution at the beginning of the conflict. In this select body, most of his career passed.
Salamis was subject to US sanctions, second in the hierarchy of the guards for nine years, was appointed head in 2019. This strategic role given by a national security council, led by President Massoud Pezkian.
The functioning of this body is to refer directly to the Supreme Leader on Military Issues, Safety and Foreign Policy.
The guards, the Army Corps, founded in 1979 shortly after the Islamic Revolution, have, according to the International Institute of Strategic Studies (IISS), about 125,000 members serving under the direct supervision of the Supreme Leader. There is no official evidence of their strengths.
Unlike the National Army, the primary role of the guards is not to ensure the protection of Iranian territory, but to protect “the revolution and its achievements”, according to the Constitution.
Born in 1961 in Tehran, Amirali Hadjizanteh was led by the Aerospatial Force of the Revolution Guards since its founding in 2009.
It was the brain of two attacks that launched Iran last year against Israeli territory. The supreme leader had made him up to this opportunity.
Amirali Hadjizadeh became known in 2023, stating that Iran was still seeking to “kill” US officials, mainly Donald Trump.
In 2020, the US president ordered a blow to Iraq, who was to kill Kassem Suleimani, a former head of Kundz, responsible for businesses abroad of the Revolutionary Guards.
Six nuclear scientists were killed today. Among the names mentioned by the Iranian news agency Tasnim is Fereidun Abasi, who previously led the Iranian atomic energy organization and Mohammad Mehdi Techranci, president of the Islamic University of Azad in Iran.
