    Israel has killed Iran's top military commander just four days after he was appointed. Ali Shadmani was killed in a command centre in central Tehran, the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) said, after "a sudden opportunity" arose for an airstrike. Shadmani, Iran's "wartime chief of staff" and aide to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was appointed to the position on Friday after Israel killed his predecessor in a military strike.

The Trump-Musk spat has shades of the fall out between Putin & Boris Berezovsky, the mouthy oligarch who helped him to power. Berezovsky wound up dead in a bathroom, a ligature round his neck. Things presumably won’t go that far, but maybe Elon should lock the door if he showers!
