Mojtaba Khamenei reportedly signed decrees appointing six senior commanders to key positions across Iran’s armed forces, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and the Basij.
The reported appointments include Ali Abdollahi as Chief of Staff of Iran’s Armed Forces, Kioumars Heydari as Deputy Chief of Staff, Ahmad Vahidi as IRGC Commander-in-Chief, Mostafa Izadi as Deputy IRGC Commander, Ali Azmaei as IRGC Navy Commander and Hossein Taeb as Commander of the Basij Resistance Force.
