"These are really serious people," said one U.S. defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity. "They were the target of a very focused raid based on intelligence, and it would be hard for one to believe that their activities weren't endorsed by the Iranian government.

The other commander was described as equally significant to Iran's support of foreign militaries but not as high-ranking."
