Israel today claimed that it has killed four senior Iranian intelligence officials, including the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Intelligence Organisation in a precision airstrike in Tehran.
The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) said the Sunday night strike targeted a building where key IRGC and Quds Force leaders were meeting. Among the dead were Mohammad Khatami, IRGC intelligence chief and his deputy as well as Quds Force intelligence head, and his deputy.
The IDF said the officials were involved in operations against Israel and in coordinating with groups including Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis. The strike follows the earlier killing of another top Iranian intelligence officer last week.
According to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), the strike was executed on Sunday night, targeting a building in the Iranian capital where key intelligence personnel were assembled.
“Yesterday, Air Force fighter jets attacked, with precise intelligence guidance from the Intelligence Division in the Tehran area, a building where several senior officials in the Iranian regime’s intelligence organisations were staying,” the IDF said in a post on X. Among those killed were Mohammad Khatami, head of the IRGC Intelligence Organisation since 2022, and his deputy Mohammad Hassan Mahkaghi.
