Israeli army confirms killing Iran’s IRGC intelligence chief in Tehran strike

Israeli Air Force forces, acting on precise intelligence from the Israel Defence Forces (IDF), conducted a nighttime strike in Tehran, killing Majid Khademi, head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ (IRGC) Intelligence Directorate, the IDF announced.

“Khademi was one of the IRGC’s most senior commanders and had accumulated extensive military and security experience over many years.

Khademi was appointed to his position following the elimination of Mohammad Kazemi in Operation Rising Lion. In his role, he was responsible for gathering intelligence and helping formulate a comprehensive situational assessment for the regime’s senior leadership during Operation Roaring Lion. Khademi was a key figure in the campaign, and the intelligence he gathered was used to advance and execute terrorist activities.

Additionally, Khademi worked to advance terrorist activities against the State of Israel and against Jewish targets worldwide. He also took part in attempts to target American individuals and was responsible for monitoring Iranian civilians as part of the regime’s suppression of internal protests.

His elimination joins dozens of other senior commanders of the Iranian regime who have been eliminated during the operation, and constitutes another significant blow to the IRGC’s command-and-control systems and its ability to conduct terrorist operations against the State of Israel and countries worldwide,” the IDF said.
