Iran’s Top Spy Chief, Key IRGC Commanders Eliminated in Israeli Strikes
Israel hits Iran’s largest petrochemical complex in Asaluyeh.
As the operation Epic Fury enters its 38th day, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) is carrying out strikes against Iran’s military-terrorist leadership, killing several key commanders of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
The IRGC’s spy chief, Majid Khademi, was eliminated in an Israeli strike in ‘the heart of Tehran,’ the IDF announced on Monday. “Iranian state media confirmed his death,” Israel’s Ynetnews reported. “He was considered one of the three most senior figures in the [IRGC], and his killing is seen as a significant blow to the Guards’ intelligence and operational capabilities.”

Israeli fighter jets “conducted a strike in Tehran and eliminated Majid Khademi, the Head of Intelligence of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC),” the IDF revealed.
Khademi rose to the position of Iran’s top spy master after Israel eliminated his predecessor, Mohammad Kazemi, during the 12-Day War last June. “Khademi was one of the IRGC’s most senior commanders and had accumulated extensive military and security experience over many years,” the IDF noted. “Khademi was appointed to his position following the elimination of Mohammad Kazemi in Operation Rising Lion. In his role, he was responsible for gathering intelligence and helping formulate a comprehensive situational assessment for the regime’s senior leadership during Operation Roaring Lion.”
The slain spy chief was responsible for carrying out terrorist attacks against Israeli and U.S. nationals. Khademi “worked to advance terrorist activities against the State of Israel and against Jewish targets worldwide. He also took part in attempts to target American individuals and was responsible for monitoring Iranian civilians as part of the regime’s suppression of internal protests,” the IDF added.

In another serious blow to the IRGC, the IDF took out Asghar Bagheri, commander of the IRGC-Quds Force’s Special Operations Unit (840), which carries out terrorist activities across the world.
On Sunday, the Israeli Air Force “conducted a strike in Tehran and eliminated Asghar Bagheri, Commander of the Quds Force’s Special Operations Unit (840) since 2019,” the IDF revealed. “Under his command, the unit advanced operations targeting IDF soldiers on the Syrian-Israel border. He did so using Syrian operatives who had previously served in Assad’s army.”
“His elimination is part of the significant damage the IDF is inflicting on the Quds Force’s Special Operations Unit and constitutes a further blow to the unit’s ability to carry out terrorist attacks against the State of Israel and its civilians,” the Israeli military said.

According to the Israel-based think tank, Alma Research and Education Center, the terrorist 840 unit “is responsible for promoting and directing terrorist activity against Israelis and Jews inside Israel, along its borders, and worldwide, through terrorist cells remotely directed by it.
The “Unit 840 has carried out terrorist activity, among other places, in the Netherlands, Turkey, the United States, Azerbaijan, and Colombia,” the think tank noted.
Another Israeli airstrike struck the command center of the IRGC-Quds Forces’ “Imam Hussein Division” and killed a commander and several top operatives of the terrorist outfit.
“Yesterday (Sunday), the Israeli Air Force, acting on IDF intelligence, struck the main headquarters responsible for managing the firepower of the ‘Imam Hussein’ Division, and eliminated the organization’s head of artillery, the terrorist Kamil Melhem, along with additional terrorists, including aides to Division Commander, Yahya Hussein,” the Israeli military announced. “In his role, Melhem directed and oversaw artillery launch attacks toward the State of Israel and IDF troops. He also served as a central knowledge authority and was one of the division’s key commanders.”
The IRGC-QF’s Imam Hussein Division operates as an Iranian terrorist legion fighting along with proxy terror groups, including Lebanon’s Hezbollah. “The ‘Imam Hussein’ Division serves as a military force used by the Quds Force to strengthen the so-called ‘Axis of Resistance’ and to execute terrorist attacks against IDF soldiers and civilians of the State of Israel,” the IDF explained in a statement on Monday.
Israel hits Iran’s largest petrochemical complex in Asaluyeh
Besides the regime’s military-terrorist command structure, Israel is also targeting its terrorism-linked oil infrastructure. On Monday, the IDF hit Iran’s largest petrochemical complex in the southern coastal city of Asaluyeh. The petrochemical and nearby facilities were hit in a wave of strikes, news reports suggest.

“Israel struck Iran’s largest petrochemical complex at Asaluyeh on Monday, defence minister Israel Katz said, in what he described as a severe economic blow to Tehran,” Reuters reported. “Several explosions were heard at Iran’s South Pars Petrochemical complex in Asaluyeh, Fars news agency reported on Monday.”

Will there be anyone left to surrender tomorrow when Trump begins ‘Operation Stone Age’?
Some private somewhere they can dragoon to sign. Either that or some Minister of Agriculture.
I think they’re down to the guy that cleans the toilets. Nobody else wants the job and be the next in line to get snuffed by the Israelis.
Known in some circles as the Head Man. [rim shot]
When? Trump yacks and threatens a lot with no action, From ‘The Good, The Bad and The Ugly,…”If you’re gonna shoot,..Shoot, don’t talk about it”. By now Iran should be over and would have been if this war was conducted in earnest
😂😂😂
Can you imagine typing this with a straight face?
😂😂😂
As that great American philosopher Bugs Bunny used to say, “What a maroon!”
Give the bro some space. These last few weeks must have been agonising for him and this weekends rescue of the WSO probably hasn’t helped his mood at all 😂😂
If Joe Biden or Obama had been in charge, Iran would have surrendered in five days. Just like Afghanistan in 2021, right?
No it would have been another Peace in Our Time appeasement with a few billion more on pallets. Perish the thought.
Even though my comment was somewhat sarcastic – Most every leftist believes appeasement and funding/facilitating Iran’s nuclear program would bring long lasting peace.
When did this progressive fantasy start circulating that a war- any war, or any military intervention – should be concluded in a matter of weeks?
Do they realize how dumb that sounds?
And “exit strategy”? Yeah, we win and they lose; that’s the exit strategy. *eyeroll*
On a related note, is their afterlife experiencing a shortage of virgins?
That is definitely an issue. Recall that the US didn’t kill Hirohito because US leaders figured we needed to have someone in Japan to authorize a surrender. With so many muckety-mucks gone, it is problematic to locate someone who could authorize a surrender. On the other hand, Iranian mullahs/IGRC never appeared to be the compromising kind. To the death, and all that. At least w so much military hardware destroyed and so many leaders gone, attacks from Iran will become more and more haphazard and less and less effective.
We needed the Emperor b/c the culture of Japan would have driven them to ignore an order to surrender the Home Islands coming from anyone else.
Iran is way different in that respect. I suspect individual military units would be happy to surrender. There’s some reporting that ordinary military, the Artesh, have been basically disarmed out of concerns for loyalty to the regime by the IRGC.
Death of a thousand cuts (errr bombs)
Mossad is one heck of an operation. No leaks!
Them IRGC thugs must be going insane at the thought the juices somehow know their every move 😂
I have this vision of the remaining IRGC guys sitting around a table pointing fingers and shouting, “I nominate you!” and the “nominees” yelling back, “Eff that, I nominate YOU!”
All well and good, but they haven’t taken out the one guy they really need to.
Ahmad Vahidi, the current IRGC Chief, is the de facto military dictator of Iran.
The people the Trump administration is talking to have no real power. They can’t make a deal without Vahidi, and he’s not willing to make any deal at all.
So, as noted above, “Operation Stone Age” (absolutely LOVE that) is likely to kick off this evening as planned.
Worse, if we do end up making some kind of deal with Vahidi, Iran will remain as bad, or worse, than it was prior to the start of Operation Epic Fury.
One way or another, he needs to take a dirt nap for this conflict to end.
“Eliminated” is a weasel word for “killed”.
Why does LI sanitize targeted assassination?
This euphemising is expected from the MSM, not conservative or even “objective” reporting.
