IDF confirms IRGC intel chief killed; Quds Force commander also eliminated in strike
Fox News ^ | 4/06/26 | Eric Mack

Israel announced that Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' intelligence chief Brig. Gen. Majid Khademi was killed in a precision strike, with an Israeli official noting that Quds Force’s special operations commander Asghar Bagheri was eliminated at the same time.

In a statement posted on X, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed Khademi's killing, accusing him of helping advance terrorist attacks abroad and overseeing surveillance of Iranian civilians as part of the regime’s crackdown on domestic protests.

"Khademi wasn’t just any figure, he was effectively No. 2 within the IRGC, one of the few senior commanders who managed to survive multiple waves of Israeli and American targeting over the past year — until now," a senior Israeli official told Fox News. "He kept moving, relocating, but ultimately he was hunted down and eliminated.

"He oversaw an intelligence apparatus that repeatedly failed to detect or prevent major Israeli and U.S. operations, including a series of strategic surprises that exposed deep vulnerabilities inside Iran’s security system."

Notably, Khademi was "deeply involved in attempts to penetrate U.S. systems, including efforts to breach the Pentagon," and "coordinated extensively with Russia," according to the official.

"His removal marks a significant blow to Iran’s intelligence leadership at a time when the regime is already under sustained pressure," the official added.

Bagheri was also killed at the same time as the strike that took out Khademi, the official noted, but the IDF has yet to officially confirm his killing.

<< “Khademi wasn’t just any figure, he was effectively No. 2 within the IRGC, one of the few senior commanders who managed to survive multiple waves of Israeli and American targeting over the past year — until now,” Khademi was “deeply involved in attempts to penetrate U.S. systems, including efforts to breach the Pentagon,” and “coordinated extensively with Russia,” according to the official. >>

Outstanding hit.

All objective thinking and rational Islamic Republic radicals by this time have to be rethinking this whole “Allah is Greatest” and “Allah is With Us” mentality. Whoever this “Allah” is...well, by manner of action he’s definitely not the ‘greatest’ (greatest liar maybe) and he’s on vacation.

“All objective thinking and rational Islamic Republic radicals by this time have to be rethinking this whole “Allah is Greatest” and “Allah is With Us” mentality.”

Not when they are brainwashed from a very early age to essentially “do or die”.

There is only one way to deal with people that their only goal is to kill you......kill them first.

IMO islam is the largest most evil cult the world has ever seen.

Do not let the pressure off to signal good faith in negotiating. Do not hesitate to go down the list of targets. Do not slow down or change MO if a bomb misses a target or bad Intel causes a mishap (it sadly will happen).

Keep the pressure on.

This needs to keep going for MONTHS.

When done, Iran needs to be a cripple, UNLESS they cave either through popular uprising or the regime actually is willing to accept the condition of them not having nukes.

Revolutionary Guards head Ahmad Vahidi.
He is the third leader of the guards since last month, two of his predecessors are now with the virgins!

It looks like, that he can still somehow be in control of Iran.

I think, when he goes, the whole thing will collapse.

Taking bets how long will he last?

"He oversaw an intelligence apparatus that repeatedly failed to detect or prevent major Israeli and U.S. operations, including a series of strategic surprises that exposed deep vulnerabilities inside Iran’s security system."

Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if he were still running things. On the other hand, the next guy might be even less competent, while he lasts.

Not killed. How unsensitive of them. “Rendered unalive.”
