Two senior Iranian leaders were reported killed in overnight airstrikes on Tehran, according to state media and statements from Israeli officials. Among those identified was Majid Khademi, a top intelligence figure within Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, along with Ashgar Bakeri.
Officials said Khademi played a central role in overseeing Iran’s intelligence operations and had remained active despite previous targeting efforts. His death has been described by some sources as a significant development, given his position within the command structure and involvement in regional security matters.
Bakeri, who was linked to the Quds Force’s covert operations, was also reported killed in the strikes. According to statements, his responsibilities included coordinating activities and recruitment efforts across parts of the Middle East, particularly in areas where Iran has maintained strategic influence.
The reported deaths are part of a broader series of military actions targeting Iranian leadership and infrastructure. While officials have described the strikes as impactful, full details—including independent confirmation and the wider implications—continue to emerge as the situation develops.
