🇮🇱 Israel-Iran Conflict LIVE Updates: Iranian Wartime Chief Ali Shadmani Killed in Israeli Strike
In a rapidly intensifying Middle East conflict, Iran’s newly appointed wartime chief of staff, Major General Ali Shadmani, has been killed in a targeted Israeli airstrike. The attack comes just four days after his formal appointment and is being viewed as a significant escalation in the Israel-Iran standoff.
Who Was General Ali Shadmani?
Major General Ali Shadmani was a senior figure in Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and recently assumed the powerful role of wartime chief of staff, succeeding the late General Gholam Ali Rashid, who was also killed earlier this month. Shadmani had a long-standing reputation as a strategic commander closely aligned with Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Details of the Israeli Strike
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed the precision strike targeting a military command center in central Tehran. The mission reportedly neutralized General Shadmani along with other senior Iranian military personnel.
Sources indicate the strike was part of a larger coordinated response to Iran’s alleged support of regional proxy forces and continued hostile activities against Israeli interests.
Context: What’s Fueling the Escalation?
Tensions between Israel and Iran have sharply escalated over the past few weeks. A series of high-level assassinations of Iranian military leaders has prompted aggressive rhetoric from Tehran and vows of retaliation. The killing of General Shadmani marks the third such elimination of a top Iranian military figure in less than a month.
This conflict appears to be shifting from covert operations to overt military confrontations, with regional stability at increasing risk.
