Iran's official IRNA news agency is reporting that the country's top leader has appointed a new chief for its air force.
The Sunday report says Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has appointed Gen. Aziz Nasirzadeh as the new air force chief.
Gen. Nasirzadeh, a former F-14 Tomcat pilot and veteran of the 1980s Iran-Iraq war, has been the air force's acting commander since 2017. He succeeds Gen. Hassan Shahsafi, who has held the post since 2008.
