The IDF announced on Tuesday the elimination of Ali Shadmani, Iran�s War-Time Chief of Staff and the regime�s top military commander.

According to the IDF, the strike was carried out by the Israeli Air Force overnight in the heart of Tehran, targeting a staffed command center following precise intelligence provided by the IDF Intelligence Directorate. Shadmani, widely regarded as one of the most powerful figures in Iran�s military hierarchy and a close confidant of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed in the strike.

Shadmani headed the Iranian Armed Forces� emergency war command and simultaneously commanded both the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and the Iranian army. He was appointed as Iran�s wartime chief following the elimination of his predecessor, Alaa Ali Rashid, in the opening strike of Operation �Rising Lion.”

Under Shadmani�s leadership, the emergency command center �Khatam al-Anbiya� oversaw Iran�s strategic combat operations and was responsible for approving and managing the country�s offensive firepower plans. He played a central role in shaping and executing Iran�s operational strategies against the State of Israel.

Before his appointment to the top wartime post, Shadmani served as Deputy Commander of Khatam al-Anbiya and Head of the Operations Directorate within the Iranian Armed Forces� General Staff.

His elimination marks another severe blow to Iran�s military command structure, coming amid a series of Israeli strikes that have systematically targeted and dismantled the highest echelons of Tehran�s military leadership. The IDF said that this latest strike further disrupts Iran�s ability to conduct coordinated military operations and degrades its strategic command capabilities.
