Assassination of Key Political Leaders
It is noted that Israel assassinated, on the first day of the outbreak of war (28 February last), dozens of prominent political and military leaders, especially in the Revolutionary Guard. The joint Israeli-American raids on 28 February also led to the elimination of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, as well as Revolutionary Guard leader Mohammad Bakpour, and Abdolrahim Mousavi, the chief of staff of the armed forces.
Israel also assassinated Basij forces commander Gholam Reza Soleimani, Iranian Defense Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh, and his successor, in addition to dozens of military leaders and officers.
Israel also vowed to assassinate the new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, the Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, as well as Major General Amir Hatami, the Commander-in-Chief of the Army, and Major General Ahmad Vahidi, who was appointed commander of the Revolutionary Guard following Bakpour's death, and Major General Ali Abdullahi, commander of the Khatam al-Anbiya headquarters.
