Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei appointed new commanders to head key military entities after Israel assassinated his top brass.

Brig. Gen. Mohammad Pakpour was appointed on Friday as the new commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), an entity parallel to the regular military that Iran established to crush dissent at home and project the Islamic Republic’s power abroad. He replaces Hossein Salami, who was killed by Israel on Friday.

Khamenei also appointed Maj. Gen. Abdolrahim Mousavi to the position of Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces to replace Gen. Mohammad Bagheri, who was killed earlier Friday.

And Maj. Gen. Ali Shadmani replaces Lt. Gen. Gholam Ali Rashid as head of the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, an entity that coordinates between the IRGC and the regular army. (CNN)
