The IDF announced the elimination of the commander of the Iranian Basij militia in Tehran

Gholamreza Soleimani, commander of the Iranian Basij militia forces, was eliminated in Tehran. This was announced on March 17 by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

"In a precise strike on Tehran, the IDF killed the commander of the Basij unit yesterday [March 16]," the Israeli army's Telegram channel says.

It is noted that this unit is part of the armed structure of Iran and played a key role in suppressing internal protests in the country, using harsh methods against demonstrators.

According to the source, Soleimani's elimination was another serious blow to the Iranian regime's governance and security system.

"The IDF will continue to act with determination against the commanders of the Iranian terrorist regime," the Israeli army concluded.
