From the Jerusalem Post: New details were revealed on Wednesday night about the killing of Maj.-Gen. Ali Shademani, the Iranian military’s wartime chief of staff, on Monday. The Israel Air Force assassinated his predecessor last Friday.
Shademani was assassinated at a secret compound in the mountains outside of Tehran along with dozens of other senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps officers who had fled from their main headquarters in Tehran, believing they would be safe.
Instead, the IAF waited for them to move to the “secret” location and then killed them all at the same time.
Fox News reported the new revelations first on Wednesday, and The Jerusalem Post independently verified the information from senior defense sources.
During Israel’s initial airstrikes on Iran on June 13, Shademani’s predecessor, Maj. Gen. Gholam Ali Rashid, had been killed. The same day, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei announced that Shademani would be promoted to replace Rashid.
Four days later, Israel “promoted” Shademani to meet the same fate as his predecessor.
Now, we have learned “dozens” more were taken out at the same time, as they were hiding out at a “secret compound” located in a mountain. It isn’t clear how many dozen Iranian military members were in the compound when it was hit.
