Iran Confirms Deaths of Four Senior Commanders, Scientists
Jerusalem, 13 June, 2025 (TPS-IL) -- Iran confirmed the deaths of four high-profile figures in Friday’s Israeli airstrikes.
Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Commander-in-Chief General Hossein Salami, senior IRGC officer General Gholamali Rashid, nuclear scientist Fereydoon Abbasi, and academic leader Dr. Mohammad Mehdi Tehranchi.
General Salami, who led the IRGC since 2019, was a central architect of Iran’s regional military strategy and known for his aggressive rhetoric toward Israel and the U.S. General Rashid held senior roles in both military command and strategic infrastructure, overseeing operations at the IRGC-linked Khatam al-Anbiya conglomerate.
Abbasi, a key figure in Iran’s nuclear program and former head of its atomic energy agency, was previously targeted in a 2010 assassination attempt. Dr. Tehranchi led the Islamic Azad University system and held influence in Iran’s scientific and political circles.
