Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has announced in a statement published by Iranian news outlets that their intelligence chief, Majid Khademi, has been killed. The statement says he was killed this morning and has accused Israel and the US of targeting him. I’ve reached out to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and they say they’ll “look into” the report. Khademi had replaced Mohammad Kazemi, who was also killed in an Israeli attack on 15 June 2025 during the 12-day Iran-Israel war. More now on the death of Iran's intelligence chief, with Israel's Defence Minister Israel Katz and the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) claiming responsibility for the killing of Majid Khademi.
