💨 Abstract

General Hossein Salami, the head of Iran's Revolutionary Guard, was killed in Israeli strikes. His death significantly impacts Iran's leadership, which has faced numerous challenges in recent times. The Revolutionary Guard, initially a domestic security force, has grown into a transnational military entity. Salami, appointed in 2019, was known for his anti-U.S. and anti-Israel rhetoric. His death follows a string of direct attacks between Israel and Iran, highlighting escalating tensions.
