Israel’s military has said it had killed the commander of the special operations unit of Iran’s Quds Force in a strike on Tehran a day earlier, AFP reports.
“Yesterday, the Israeli Air Force… conducted a strike in Tehran and eliminated Asghar Bagheri, Commander of the Quds Force’s Special Operations Unit (840) since 2019,” a military statement said.
