The QDS forces are a powerful unity within the Iranian revolutionary guard, formed during the Iraqi War War in the 1980s as a special unit of intelligence. It is credited with assuming leadership role in Iran’s relations with armed groups in Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria and Gaza Strip, including Hezbollah and Hamas.
IRGC Commander Hossein Salami was killed in the initial attacks of Israel to Iran on Friday. Since then, he has been replaced by General Ahmed Vahidi.
