Overview
- The IRGC confirmed Monday that intelligence chief Majid Khademi was killed in a US–Israeli attack, and Israel said he directed deadly rocket fire on civilians.
- Israel’s military said it also killed Asghar Bakeri, who led a covert unit within the IRGC’s Quds Force, a death its spokesperson Nadav Schoschani announced at a briefing.
- News reports described the Khademi operation as coordinated between the United States and Israel, matching a pattern in which US forces hit military sites while Israel targets senior figures.
- Airstrikes around Tehran killed 19 people and injured 20 in the Shahriar and Baharestan districts, according to Iran’s IRNA agency, with large residential buildings reported destroyed.
- Since February 28, repeated strikes have removed multiple senior Iranian officials, including reports of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s death, though Iran’s decentralized units continue to operate.
