In response to a series of Israeli air attacks that resulted in the deaths of several key military leaders, Iran has appointed new commanders to enhance its military leadership. General Mohammad Bagheri, the highest-ranking military commander, was killed alongside other senior officers, prompting Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to promote Abdolrahim Mousavi as the new chief of staff of armed forces. This shift sees an army chief assume a position traditionally held by IRGC figures, indicative of a strategic repositioning within Iran's military hierarchy.
