According to reports from Iranian state media, Major General Majid Khademi, who served as the head of the Intelligence Organization within the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), has been killed.
The IRGC issued a statement confirming his death in an airstrike described as a “terrorist attack” carried out by American and Israeli forces at dawn on Monday.
Khademi assumed leadership of the IRGC’s intelligence arm in 2025, succeeding his predecessor who was also killed in prior Israeli strikes.
His elimination represents a significant development amid ongoing regional tensions, as he was regarded as a senior and influential figure within Iran’s security apparatus. Israeli sources have acknowledged the operation, highlighting its precision based on intelligence inputs.
This incident forms part of a broader pattern of targeted strikes against high-ranking Iranian officials during the current escalation between Iran, the United States, and Israel.
Details regarding the exact location of the strike remain limited, though reports indicate that multiple airstrikes affected areas near Tehran. The event is likely to influence the dynamics of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
