IRGC Intelligence Chief killed in US-Israeli airstrikes; Tehran confirms martyrdom.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) confirmed on Monday that its powerful intelligence chief was killed in a joint military operation by US and Israeli forces. Major General Majid Khademi, the head of the IRGC’s Intelligence Organisation, lost his life during the strikes that targeted several Iranian locations at dawn.

In a statement released on their official Telegram channel, the Revolutionary Guards described General Khademi as an “educated and powerful” leader who was “martyred in a criminal terrorist attack by the American-Zionist enemy.” Khademi’s death is seen as a significant blow to Iran’s intelligence infrastructure as the conflict continues to escalate.
