Iran’s shadowy Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps chief emerged from hiding for the first time in months as he mourned alongside the casket of the assassinated former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Gen. Ahmad Vahidi – who has been sanctioned by the US and has alleged ties to terrorism abroad – was seen Thursday with his hands on Khamenei’s coffin as Tehran prepared to hold the days-long funeral for the late tyrant, according to photos published online by Iranian state media.
Vahidi broke cover when he attended the meeting for Khamenei’s funeral as well as a small service before Iran begins its 40 days of national mourning on Saturday.
He had not been seen publicly since Feb. 8 — three weeks before Ayatollah Khamenei and several IRGC officials, including Vahidi’s predecessor, Mohammad Pakpour, were killed on Feb. 28, the first day of Operation Epic Fury.
Behind the scenes, Vahidi, who is wanted by Interpol over the 1994 bombing of the Asociación Mutual Israelita Argentina Jewish community center in Buenos Aires, has been a key player crafting the Islamic Republic’s hardline response toward ending the four-month-old conflict.
In May, he claimed Iran had emerged victorious following the “terrorist attack of the Zionist-American enemy” and said Washington had turned to a cease-fire “in humiliation,” according to the semi-official Tasnim News Agency.
“Any renewed aggression by the enemy will be met with a devastating and hellish response on regional and trans-regional scales,” he threatened.
Vahidi, who succeeded Pakpour as head of the IRGC, is said to be part of a small clique influencing the severely injured Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei.

Trump and allies should set up a program where the Strait must remain open and the cost of ANY AND ALL damages inflicted upon shipping by Iran will be 100% covered by IRANIAN IMPOUNDED FUNDS. This would stiffen the spines of the shipping insurers and reinsurers. And IRANIANS UNDERSTAND MONEY, do not want to lose it and will punish (i.e., kill) those who cause the loss. And the ones causing the loss are the IRGC.
I’m posting this in every thread where the absence of such MONETARY DAMAGES ASSESSMENT is partially responsible for the situation.
Did President Trump make a deal to allow them to hold the funeral without our bombing it?
Did we send flowers?
Bomb the funeral.
I’m okay with it.
Yes
Take is further. Let Iran pay money to every boat who passes the Straight.
Kind of reverse tool. 😊
I wonder if anyone at the War Department has the coordinates of the funeral.
He would not appear in public without assurances by POTUS.
Hunting over bait.
GREAT
IDF in 3, 2, 1….
💥 BOOM
Did he see his shadow when he popped his head up?
