Yet another member of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, General Ali Mohammad Naeini, was reportedly killed in an airstrike overnight. He's just the latest high-ranking Iranian official to be dispatched to the afterlife thanks to the U.S.-Israel airstrikes that have decimated Iran for the past three weeks.
Naeini was one of several Iranian leaders who were reportedly killed in the most recent airstrikes. Intelligence has played a vital role in this war, with information often leading to strikes so precise they target individual apartments in Iran.
Shortly before his demise, Naeini insisted Iran was still building missiles and that the war would continue.
That last part may be true, but not for him.
The spokesman for Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard insisted Friday that Tehran was still building missiles, seeking to counter a claim by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that it no longer could.
Gen. Ali Mohammad Naeini also said the Iran war would go on. A short time later, Iranian state television reported Naeini was killed in an airstrike.
“These people expect the war to continue until the enemy is completely exhausted,” the general said of the Iranian public. “This war must end when the shadow of war is lifted from the country.”
Naeini had also warned of a "surprise" in the war, and threatened Iranians who support Prince Reza Pahlavi, as well as those celebrating Chaharshanbe Suri.
Al-Jazeera also said the IRGC confirmed Naeini's death.
"Only the dead have seen the end of war."
Surprise!
This is a sign that Iran’s elites are deeply penetrated by Israeli spies. If it were purely tech razzle dazzle, the US has people every bit as smart, able to penetrate Iran’s computer and telco systems. Israel is getting in there with living breathing informants. For that level of penetration, for cosseted regime elites to stab their colleagues in the back, the dissatisfaction with the regime must be off the charts. The public must want to rend the elites limb from limb. Nothing like that was the case in Iraq, despite the place being ruled by a 20% Sunni clique.
The next two weeks are critical.
is this the same iranian spokesmen who was reported killed yesterday?
The Iranian people are telling Israel where they are.
No, it’s the next one, LOL.
And/or Iranians are turning the location of their brethren into the tip hot line. That possibility must really be unnerving to the bad guys.
THIS.
It's what media and twitter commentators do not know, and can not see, but Trump knows.
It could very well be the new regime, still in hiding but already in cooperation with the US and Israel, helping eliminate the IRGC until its safe to emerge.
Second Lieutenant Ali Newguy, you are now in charge.
What are you going to do LT?
At this rate Allah is going to have to start handing out used virgins.
The guy in the middle of the 2026 photo is the president of Iran, Masoud Pezeshkian. He is quite the moderate by Iranian standards - probably why he hasn’t been killed yet.
That happened to me in a small way in Iraq when basically everyone above me and same rank got the Gulf War Sh-ts/Bagdad Belly (probably salmonella) and suddenly this butter bar was in charge for a week.
Fun times.
Well, that’s good news.
Was Grok wrong about the other guy, too?
“The dead only know one thing, it is better to be alive”
So effectively the top two tiers of leadership have been taken out.
Do they know who is three and four?
I’m reading today that 300 leaders and men were killed in the last
I predict that the regime will fall within three days because the premiums on their workers comp insurance are simply not sustainable
He should have consulted the Japanese.
