- Story Text:The head of the intelligence organization of Iran's elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps was killed on Monday (April 6) in a "terrorist attack by the American-Zionist (Israeli) enemy," Iranian media said, citing a statement by the Guards.
Majid Khademi, who becomes the latest key figure killed in U.S.-Israeli air strikes, took over in 2025 after Israeli air strikes killed his predecessor.
He spent decades in intelligence and counter-espionage roles while rising through Iran’s security apparatus.
Before his appointment, Khademi headed the Guards' Intelligence Protection Organisation, charged with internal surveillance and counter-intelligence, and held senior roles in Iran’s defense ministry.
The IRGC intelligence arm is one of Iran’s most powerful security bodies, with a central role in domestic surveillance to counter foreign influence, and often operating in parallel with the civilian intelligence ministry. - Copyright Holder: POOL (CAN SELL)
