Major General Majid Khademi was killed in airstrikes on Tehran. The Revolutionary Guard accuses the USA and Israel of the attack.

Major General Majid Khademi was killed in airstrikes targeting residential areas around Iran's capital, Tehran, early Monday morning. Precise details about the location of the incident are not known, but the Revolutionary Guard blamed the United States and Israel for the attack.

Khademi replaced General Mohammad Kazemi, who was killed by Israel during the 12-day war in June 2025. The intelligence service of the Revolutionary Guard, which has extensive powers in Iran and answers only to the supreme leader, is known for detaining Western citizens and for involvement in external assassinations. It has been accused of attacks against opponents of the theocratic regime in Iran, raising questions about the stability and security of the regime in the context of rising international tensions.
