In the four days of the operation of AM Kelavia (Rising Lion), Israel eliminated at least thirty high responsible people – the elite army of the Tehran regime – and scientists involved in the development of the nuclear program of Iran, according to the Communications of the Defense Forces in Israel (IDF) and the foreign media, reports on Monday, i24news.
Fourteen scientists involved in the nuclear project have died in bombardments and explosions of some machinery-car, Reuters, taken over by Agerpres.
The offensive began by eliminating three of the highest Iranian commanders: General Mohammad Bagheri, commander of the armed forces, Hossein Salami, the head of the Guardians of the Revolution, and Gholam Ali Rashid, the deputy chief commander of the Iranian armed forces. The latter was responsible for the safety system of the regime during the war and he actively conducted the program that aimed to destroy Israel.
The aerospace branch of the Guardians of the Revolution has also suffered heavy losses. The commander of the aviation,
Amir Ali Hajizadeh, was killed with six other commanders, including Davoud Shikhian, the head of the anti-aircraft defense, Mohammad Baqeri, responsible for the Sol-Sol missiles, and Taher Pour, commander for the Drone Division.
Israel succeeded in Iran in 48 hours what Russia wanted from the beginning, but did not obtain at any time in Ukraine
The structure of information of the Guardians of the Revolution was decimated by eliminating five high responsible ones: Mohammad Kazemi, the head of the Information Service, his deputy Mohsen Mahagheqi, Gholam-Reza Marhab, the head of the Information Service of the Armed Forces, Mohsen Baqeri, the head of the Information Service of the Quds Force, Al-Phazel Nikhoai.
New York Times informs that Ismail Qani, commander of the Quds force, would have been eliminated, without an official confirmation from Tehran. Ali Shamkhani, responsible for the nuclear program and counselor of Ayatollah Khamena has survived an attack, but remains hospitalized with serious internal injuries.
The major mistake made by Israel in front of Iran: now “Iranian missiles manage to penetrate all the layers of Israel's aerial defense systems”
In front of this wave of murder, the supreme leader Ali Khamena took refuge in an underground bunker in the Lavizan district, in the northeast of Tehran, together with his family. A diplomatic source states that Israel could have eliminated him from the first night, but preferred him to give him a chance to destroy the nuclear program, according to the quoted television station.
