Tehran Decapitated: Iran Confirms Death of Joint Chiefs Chairman and Domestic Intelligence Chief in Massive Air Raid

Iran officially announced on Sunday, March 1, 2026, the deaths of Abdurrahim Mousavi, Chairman of the General Staff, and Major General Sardar Rezaian, Chief of Domestic Security Intelligence. Mousavi, who took office only months ago after his predecessor was killed, becomes the fourth top-tier commander confirmed dead following the assassination of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

U.S. intelligence sources cited by CBS News indicate that at least 40 high-ranking officials perished in the coordinated U.S.-Israeli strikes. The list includes the designated Defense Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh and the Supreme Leader’s military office head, Mohammad Shirazi. This unprecedented loss of command-and-control capabilities leaves the Iranian military in a state of absolute disarray as the joint offensive continues.
