People don't seem to comprehend just how bad of an impact this had on Iran. On the first day of attacks alone, Iran lost
>the Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces
>the Commander-in-Chief of the IRGC
>the head of Khatam-al Anbiya Central Headquarters (Iran's general staff)
>the Commander-in-Chief of the IRGC Aerospace Force (head of Iran's offensive ballistic missile forces)
>the Commander of IRGC Air Defense forces
>the Head of Intelligence of the Iranian Armed Forces
>the Head of Intelligence of the IRGC
