In an audacious move, Israel has reportedly tackled the core of Iran's power structure with the targeted assassination of the commander of the Revolutionary Guards, General Major Hussein Salami, and two prominent atomic scientists - Fereydun Abbasi and Mohammad Mehdi Tehrantschi - in a high-profile attack on the Iranian elite force's headquarters.
The news agency Tasnim, mouthpiece of the Iranian elite force, confirmed Salami's death in an attack on the Revolutionary Guards' supreme command. The chief of the general staff, Mohammad Bagheri, was also reportedly "neutralized" in the strike.
Politics Israel's Bold Strike: A Preemptive BlowIn the aftermath of the attack, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asserted that the Israeli forces would continue their operations against Iran as long as necessary. The Revolutionary Guards, Iran's elite force, are far more powerful than the regular armed forces, boasting not only military might but also considerable social and economic influence, with stakes in hotel chains and airlines among other ventures.
According to US news site Axios, Israel's Mossad intelligence agency has embarked on a covert sabotage campaign in Iran alongside the air force's deployment, with one high-ranking Israeli government official quoted as the source.
