The Israelis are continuing to make some important moves to take out the vital players in Iran.
On Saturday, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced two more successful actions: taking out two critically important Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps commanders, including the man they described as the “founder of the Iranian regime’s plan to destroy Israel.”

According to the IDF, Behnam Shahriyari, commander of the Quds Force’s Weapons Transfer Unit, was responsible for getting weapons to the proxies across the Middle East to advance "the Iranian regime’s plan to destroy Israel."
"His elimination represents a severe blow to the ability of the terrorist organizations surrounding Israel to regroup and strengthen after being heavily damaged by the IDF during the war", the IDF said.
The other commander reportedly killed was Saeed Izadi. He was taken out in a strike on an apartment in the Qom province, according to Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz.

Izadi led the Palestine Corps of the overseas arm, known as the Quds Force, which was a “key coordinator” between Iran and Hamas — and helped arm the terrorist group ahead of its Oct. 7, 2023 massacre.
His main objective was to keep Hamas in control of Gaza, but he also directed forces who were operating from Lebanon, according to Katz.
He was one of the main orchestrators of the Oct. 7 attack, according to the IDF.
The IRGC hasn't confirmed the story yet. Do they have anyone left who is able do that now?
Watch: Trump Mocks Reporter for Question on Iran - Then Drops a Big Warning to Iran's Leader
Iran is still trying to talk tough, but the clock is ticking on the two weeks that President Donald Trump mentioned and action could happen at any time. That was their opportunity to negotiate. But the more they delay, the more their options close.
At this point, Iran must be having a hard time keeping up, with so many critical people getting wiped out. The last job anyone probably wants is to be an Iranian official in this fight because it seems to have the life expectancy of a fruit fly. It shows once again what great intelligence the Israelis have and how locked in they are on where these guys are - from their vehicles to their apartments. If they can take them out like this, that has to be chilling to them all.
