IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir announced successful eliminations of senior officials in Tehran and ongoing strikes against IRGC targets, following an extensive wave of joint Israeli-US military operations.
Following the extensive March 16 military offensive against over 200 Iranian targets, Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir announced major operational successes within Iran, including the targeting of senior officials in Tehran.
According to ارتش دفاعى اسرائيل, the official Farsi-language channel of the Israeli military, Zamir stated during a morning situation assessment that the military continues to strike forcefully against Iranian assets. He announced, "The IDF continues to act with strength against a series of targets in Iran. Last night, significant neutralization achievements were recorded that can affect the results of the IDF's campaigns and missions."
The IDF's Farsi channel further relayed Zamir's remarks that alongside degrading Iran's military and industrial production capacities, Israel is actively targeting elements of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and "the regime's oppressive agents." Zamir also highlighted that operational achievements are being amplified by strengthening cooperation and joint actions with US CENTCOM.
Iran International, a foreign-based news network known for its strong editorial stance against the Iranian government, provided further details on the specific targets of these "neutralization achievements." According to the outlet, recent operations in Iran struck individuals connected to the ongoing developments in Gaza. Specifically, senior officials involved in activities related to Gaza and the West Bank were killed while operating from a safe house in Tehran.The Farsi term 'دستاوردهای خنثیسازی' (neutralization achievements) is used as a military euphemism for targeted assassinations or eliminations, which is faithfully translated here. The sources align on the core narrative, strictly reflecting an Israeli framing of the recent military strikes.
