Destruction of Ali Shamkhani’s Residence in Israeli Attack on Iran

Among the most prominent individuals whose residences were targeted was Ali Shamkhani, a figure of immense influence within the Iranian establishment. As a top advisor to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and a former long-serving Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, Shamkhani had been a constant presence in Iran's national security and foreign policy apparatus for decades. His home, situated in one of Tehran's northern districts, was not merely a private dwelling but a symbol of the Iranian state's highest echelons, making its destruction a powerful and deeply unsettling statement.
