The Monday strike killed nearly 10 Iranian officials, including Mohammed Reza Zahedi, a top commander in Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards, and senior commander Mohammad Hadi Haji Rahimi.

Zahedi is the highest-ranking member of the Iranian military to be killed since former President Trump ordered the assassination of IRGC Gen. Qassem Soleimani in a 2020 drone strike.
