Muhammad Reza Zahedi, a very senior member of the Quds Force of the Revolutionary Guards. In the past he also commanded the Air Force of the Revolutionary Guards and the Imam Hussein Division. The target of the assassination was the commander of Unit 18000 of the Quds Force, a unit that is responsible, among other things, for all the smuggling of ammunition and precision weapons to Lebanon.
Along with Zahedi, three other Iranian advisers were killed. Zahedi is the most senior Iranian military assassin in recent years, some claim the most senior since the assassination of Qasem Soleimani.
Tamir Hayman: “If the Iranian commander in charge of Syria and Lebanon is indeed eliminated, this is one of the most important and significant assassinations carried out, perhaps the most important since the assassination of Suleimani, commander of the Quds Force. Mahdawi is the senior commander on the northern front of the Quds Force, in charge of the activation of Hezbollah and the Shia militias in Syria and in practice The most senior man on the northern front in the event of a war with Israel.”
“If indeed the assassination was carried out in a sovereign Iranian compound – a consulate – this is an important fact,” he continued. “Another important fact – this is a very senior man in the Revolutionary Guards. It seems that Iran is finally paying a price for being behind most of the offensive activity against Israel (including the one we saw this morning in Eilat).”
Mohammad Reza Zahedi is not only a very senior Iranian military figure but also a very old one – 79 years old. He commanded forces of the Revolutionary Guards back in the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s. He was both the commander of the ground forces and the commander of the air force of the Revolutionary Guards. Performed a series of senior positions in the Iranian General Staff.
