Iran poised to attack Israel after death of top Hezbollah terror chief

Gen Abbas Nilforushan, deputy of operations for Iran's notorious Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, was killed alongside Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah during an Israeli air strike on Beirut on Friday morning.

The 58-year-old Iranian is thought to have been sent to the Lebanese capital to help Hezbollah shore up gaping holes in its command and control structure following a fortnight of Israeli attacks.

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has already been transferred to a secure location inside the country with heightened security measures in place, according to regional officials.
