Israel Hayom: IRGC Commander and Defense Minister Killed
Recent reports highlight significant losses within the Iranian military leadership amid ongoing attacks. Initial estimates suggest at least three high-ranking officials from the Islamic Republic have been killed.
Casualties of Recent Attacks
According to Israeli newspaper Israel Hayom, the confirmed casualties include:
- Mohammad Pakpour, Commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)
- Aziz Nasirzadeh, Defense Minister
- Saleh Asadi, another key official
In addition to these leaders, reports indicate a high probability that Ali Shamkhani, an advisor to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, may also have been killed in the same encounters. The Israeli Channel 12 has underscored this possibility.
Potential Additional Casualties
Further intelligence provided to Iran International suggests that Hossein Jabal-Amelian, head of the IRGC’s Marine Industries, is likely among the fatalities. However, as of now, official Iranian sources have not commented on these developments.
This surge in military attacks has raised concerns about the stability of Iran’s defense structure. The implications of losing such high-ranking officials could be far-reaching for the country’s defense strategies.
As the situation evolves, observers will be closely monitoring reactions from Iranian authorities and any shifts in military tactics that may arise from these significant losses.
