The head of Iran's Revolutionary Guard and 'architect' of the regime's brutal crackdown against protesters has reportedly been killed during the joint US-Israeli missile attacks on Saturday. IRGC commander General Mohammad Pakpour is said to have been 'eliminated' in strikes targeting the capital, Tehran, according to Israeli assessments. Tehran has vowed a 'crushing' response to the joint operation, which follows weeks of knife-edge tensions building up between the US, Israel and Iran.
