Iran says IRGC spokesperson killed in US-Israeli attack

Ali Mohammad Naini was the most senior IRGC figure killed since the war began, part of a US-Israeli campaign that has killed over 1,300 people, officials said.

  • On Friday, March 20, 2026, Iranian state media reported that Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps spokesman General Ali Mohammad Naini was killed in a US-Israeli strike, marking a significant blow to Iran's military leadership.
  • Hours before his death, Naini insisted Iran's missile industry remained operational, claiming "Our missile industry score is 20," directly rebutting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's assertion that "Iran is weaker than ever."
  • US Central Command imagery from Thursday confirmed damage to the Karaj Surface-to-Surface Missile Plant, while Israel continued striking sites across Tehran on Friday amid Iranian retaliatory drone and missile attacks.
  • Iranian drone attacks on Friday struck Kuwait's Mina Al-Ahmadi oil refinery and triggered air defenses across Dubai, further disrupting the Strait of Hormuz, which normally handles about 20 million barrels per day.
  • Data from the Human Rights Activists News Agency indicates at least 3,186 people have died since the regional war began on February 28, as the conflict continues drawing neighboring states into direct engagement.
