US-Israeli Strikes Kill IRGC Intelligence Chief in Latest Escalation. Another senior figure down. The war is moving deeper into Iran’s power structure.
TEHRAN — U.S. and Israeli strikes have killed the intelligence chief of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Iranian authorities said Monday, marking a further escalation in the conflict now entering its sixth week.
The IRGC said Major General Majid Khademi, head of its intelligence organization, was killed in an early-morning strike. In a statement posted on its official channels, the Guards described the attack as a “criminal” operation carried out by U.S. and Israeli forces.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz later confirmed the killing and said Israel would continue targeting senior Iranian figures, vowing to pursue leaders “one by one.”
Khademi was a senior figure within the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, overseeing intelligence operations tied to internal security and regional activities. His death follows a series of strikes targeting high-ranking officials since the war began on February 28.
Among those killed in earlier attacks was Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, along with several senior military commanders.
The latest strike comes as fighting between Iran, the United States, and Israel continues across multiple fronts, including missile exchanges and airstrikes targeting military and infrastructure sites.
Iran has responded to the campaign with missile and drone attacks against Israel and regional targets, raising concerns about further escalation.
There was no immediate comment from U.S. officials on the reported killing.
