Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has confirmed the death of its top intelligence figure, Majid Khademi, in a pre-dawn strike. The incident has sent shockwaves through Tehran, with officials directly accusing the United States and Israel of orchestrating a targeted operation against one of the country’s most critical security pillars. Khademi, believed to be at the core of Iran’s intelligence network, played a key role in shaping strategic operations within the IRGC. His elimination marks not just a high-profile loss, but a potential fracture in Iran’s intelligence command structure. Notably, Iranian authorities have withheld details regarding the exact location and conditions of the strike, adding to the growing speculation around the scale and precision of the attack.
