Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters announced on Wednesday that its Chief Commander, Ali Shadmani, has died from injuries sustained during an Israeli airstrike.
Shadmani, who had recently succeeded Gholam Ali Rashid as head of the military command, was critically wounded in an Israeli attack last week, according to Iran’s semi-official Tasnim news agency.
The Israeli military had claimed responsibility for killing Shadmani in an overnight airstrike targeting a command center in central Tehran.
