The IDF has already taken out the newly appointed war chief of Ayatollah Khamenei, who just gave him the job four days ago when his former war chief was killed in an Israeli attack.

Here’s the news via Times of Israel:

An airstrike Monday night killed Maj. Gen. Ali Shadmani, the new head of the Khatam-al Anbiya Central Headquarters, also known as Iran’s military emergency command. He had only been on the job for some four days, having replaced Maj. Gen. Gholam Ali Rashid, who was killed on Friday in Israel’s opening strikes against Iran.

The IDF said Shadmani was de facto Iran’s most senior military commander, the “war chief of staff,” and was considered the closest remaining military figure to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

This reminds me of when Israel took out the leader of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, and then days later took out his successor.

Hopefully Ayatollah is next on the list to be assassinated.
