Deadly Israeli Strike: Iranian Revolutionary Guards' Leader Among Casualties
Revolutionary Guards Commanders Homicide in Ambush
Here's the skinny: Israel has pulled off a major operation, taking out the big cheese of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, General Major Hossein Salami, in an attack on their headquarters. Reportedly, Mohammad Bagheri, the main man behind the Iranian armed forces, was also put out of commission in the same attack.
According to Tasnim, the Iranian elite force's mouthpiece, Salami was one of Iran's most powerful dudes until his untimely demise. Social media is buzzing with speculation, but sources close to the Israeli security division are confirming the news.
Meanwhile, Iranian news outlets were initially reporting that Bagheri had walked away from the attack unscathed. But it seems they've had to retract that claim, as further details emerge.
Notable Deaths The attack didn't stop at top brass. Two prominent atomic scientists, Mohammed Mehdi Tehrantschi, a physics professor, and Fereydun Abbasi, the former head of Iran's nuclear program, were also reportedly killed in the attack.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claims the strike targeted the uranium enrichment plant in Natanz and scientists involved. This all comes shortly after teasing plans for a preemptive strike against Iran's nuclear program.
The Revolutionary Guards play a massive role in Iran, dwarfing the regular forces, and have gotten even more powerful in recent decades. They've expanded their reach beyond the battlefield, now holding stakes in hotel chains, airlines, and other ventures.
Apparently, Israel has been quite busy in Iran, attacking military and nuclear targets on the regular, according to their own statements. The Israeli Mossad intelligence agency has also reportedly been running a series of covert sabotage operations in parallel with their air force's actions.

- The latest community policy discussion in the general-news forum should include the recent developments following Israel's preemptive strike on Iran's nuclear program and its aftermath, which included the death of several high-ranking officials and atomic scientists.
- In light of the ongoing war-and-conflicts in the Middle East, the employment policy within the government sector should address the potential impacts of the Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear program, especially since it led to the killings of key figures in Iran's military and nuclear program, like General Major Hossein Salami and Mohammed Mehdi Tehrantschi.
