Israel assassinated well-guarded_ prepared members of the establishment

These are the top commanders, the top people in power in Iran for many, many years. They are very well-known figures. They have a long history inside Iran and a military background, either from the IRGC or the army, so their assassination is an alarming development.

It means that Israel is not just targeting nuclear facilities, but also top military commanders as well as nuclear scientists who used to be active in Iran’s nuclear programme.

For example, Fereydoun Abbasi [the former head of the Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran]. He survived an assassination attempt in 2010, and he has been sort of in the periphery of the establishment for a few years.

Mohammad Bagheri was the second in command of the entire country’s forces, the army and the Revolutionary Guard.

Al Jazeera’s Dorsa Jabbari.

Hossein Salami was somebody who was always heavily guarded, so for him to die in this kind of specific attack means Israel has had people on the ground inside Iran who have been working towards these clandestine operations for a long time.
