Israel confirms killing the chief of intelligence in Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Majid Khademi, in an airstrike in Tehran this morning.
Defense Minister Israel Katz says he was updated on the strike during an assessment with IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir.
“Iran’s leaders live with a sense of persecution. We will continue to hunt them down one by one,” Katz says.
Khademi entered the role of IRGC intel chief several months ago, following the killing of his predecessor Mohammad Kazemi by Israel during the June 2025 war. The IRGC is designated as a terrorist organization by the US, Canada, the European Union and others.
