Iranian supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei has appointed Ali Abdollahi as the new head of the country's armed forces, according to a statement on his website. Abdollahi, a Revolutionary Guards general, will take on the role of chief of staff of the armed forces following a series of senior military appointments by Khamenei. Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi has been named the new Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, also holding the rank of major general.
The appointments come as Iran engages in conflict in the Middle East, following the death of Khamenei's father in US-Israeli strikes. Abdollahi has previously made threatening statements, warning neighboring countries that they will face "the flames of war" if they serve as a defensive shield for America.
