💨 Abstract

An elite Iranian military operation was targeted by Israel's unprecedented mission, Operation Lion Ascendant, resulting in the deaths of three top officials, including the commander of the Revolutionary Guard and a former national security chief. This loss could severely impact Iran's military capabilities and response to Israeli attacks. General Hossein Salami, the head of the Revolutionary Guard, oversaw Iran's most powerful military arm and played a key role in attacking U.S. personnel and Israeli interests.
