The motorcycle killers who assassinated a senior Quds Force officer in Tehran on Sunday knew what they were doing.
According to Iranian media accounts, accomplices blocked the street behind the target’s car by double-parking and raising their trunk, clearing the way for the motorcycle killers who shot Colonel Hassan Sayyad Khodaei five times as he was about to drive off in his Kia Pride.
The feat was even more brazen since the colonel’s street led directly to the Iranian parliament, one of the most secure areas of Tehran. The assassins hit Khodaei from behind in the head and the heart, blowing out both the driver and the passenger side windows of his car, according to photos subsequently released to the Iranian media.
The Iranian regime immediately blamed Israel for the assassination, referring to Khodaei as a “defender of the shrine,” a reference to Quds Force officers engaged in the fight against ISIS in Syria.
Khodaei, whose real name was Bahram, was one of three brothers who joined the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps in the 1980s and fought in the war against Iraq. All three brothers, and four more Khodaei cousins, later became officers in the elite Quds Force, Iranian sources said.
Israeli media initially identified Khodaei as a senior officer in charge of Quds Force expeditionary forces inside Syria. Subsequent reports said he was in charge of Hezb’allah missile bases inside Syria, and tasked with “attacking Israeli interests and citizens abroad as deputy commander of Unit 840.”
The Israel Defense Force spokesman identified Unit 840 eighteen months ago as the Quds Force group that had been placing mines and IED’s in the Golan Heights along Israel’s border with Syria.
An Iranian source told me Khodaei supervised deliveries to Syria of advanced targeting kits for Hezb’allah missiles.

A tip of the hat to Mossad, those magnificent bastards.
Moosad or patriots? Who cares, I want to think Free Iranians, but won’t count om it.
Can you say “MOSSAD”?
I knew you could...
“as he was about to drive off in his Kia Pride”
(Kia Pride)
Just saw the pic of him (apparently) in the car
Atta boy, Mossad!
Dead proof that “Pride cometh before a fall.”
While tipping your hat to Mossad, consider Ukraine.
There have been lots of Russian generals and colonels killed. There are also many strategic fires in Moscow reminiscent of explosions in Iran
One wonders if there are clandestine Mossad advisors operating in Ukraine
Perhaps give future Quds leaders pause...
Kia getting a free plug.
