Tehran, April 6: The head of the intelligence organisation of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Majid Khademi has been killed in an attack by the United States and Israel, the IRGC said on Monday.
“The head of the IRGC’s intelligence organisation, Majid Khademi, died this morning as a result of an American-Zionist attack during the third imposed war,” the IRGC said in a statement, as quoted by the Fars news agency.
On February 28, the US and Israel began striking targets in Iran. On the first day of the conflict, a girls’ school in southern Iran was hit, and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed. The total number of victims of the attack is already more than 1,300 civilians, more than 20,000 were injured.
Iran is retaliating with strikes on Israeli territory, as well as on US military facilities in the Middle East. This has effectively halted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz — a key route for oil and liquefied natural gas supplies from the Persian Gulf to global markets. As a result, fuel prices are rising in most countries.
