Iran's Revolutionary Guard chief killed in Israel strike, state media says

Israel struck capital city Tehran early Friday morning local time and warned of potential drone and missile strikes at Israel and civilians.
On December 25, 2023, Sayyed Razi Mousavi, a senior commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guard, was killed in an alleged Israeli airstrike in Damascus, Syria. Mousavi, who served as a long-time advisor to the Revolutionary Guard, was described by Iranian state media as a "companion of martyr Qassem Soleimani," referencing the former head of the Quds Force killed by a U.S. drone strike in 2020. The strike occurred amid heightened tensions between Israel and Iran, with Iran's Foreign Ministry vowing a "decisive response" to the attack. Israel has not officially commented on the incident, but the killing marks a significant escalation in the ongoing shadow war between the two nations.
