US EditionIran says IRGC intelligence chief Majid Khademi killed in US-Israeli strike
Iran said the strike killed one of its most senior security commanders, as the attacks left more than 25 dead across the country, state media reported.
- On Monday, April 6, 2026, an airstrike in Tehran killed Major General Majid Khademi, head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' Intelligence Organisation. Iranian state media confirmed his death, describing the operation as a "criminal terrorist attack."
- Khademi had recently ascended to lead the IRGC's Intelligence Organisation, succeeding Mohammad Kazemi, whom Israel killed during a prior conflict. His targeting underscores Israel's ongoing campaign to dismantle Iran's intelligence leadership.
- Defense Minister Israel Katz confirmed Israel orchestrated the strike, calling Khademi "one of the direct perpetrators of these war crimes" and vowing that Israel would "continue to hunt them down one by one."
- Following the strike, Iran launched missile attacks against Israel and several Gulf nations. Mediators circulated a 45-day ceasefire proposal, though Tehran has yet to formally respond to the potential diplomatic off-ramp.
- The conflict has largely shuttered the Strait of Hormuz, threatening energy supplies and global oil markets. Observers warn that continued escalation risks broader regional fallout that could destabilize energy security for years.
