The intelligence chief of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Majid Khademi, has been killed in U.S.-Israeli strikes, Iranian state media confirmed on Monday.
“Major General Majid Khademi, the powerful and educated head of the Intelligence Organisation of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, was martyred in the criminal terrorist attack by the American-Zionist enemy... at dawn today,” the Guards said in a post on their Telegram channel.
No additional details were immediately available about the strike.
Meanwhile, state broadcaster IRIB, citing an IRGC statement, said Maj. Gen. Seyed Majid Khademi was “martyred” in the attack.
Khademi had been appointed head of the IRGC’s intelligence arm in June 2025 following the killing of his predecessor, Gen. Mohammad Kazemi, in an Israeli strike.
