Today, April 6, Majid Khademi, head of intelligence for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), was killed, according to Tasnim.

Khademi was reportedly killed by "American-Zionist enemy" at dawn today. He was described as an authoritative and educated head of the intelligence agency.

Khademi served for nearly 50 years in the IRGC’s intelligence and counterintelligence structures, holding leadership positions at various levels. Previously, he headed the Ministry of Defense’s information security organization and the IRGC’s information security agency.

Khademi was appointed head of intelligence for Iran’s IRGC on June 20 of last year, replacing Mohammad Kazemi, who was killed during an Israeli strike.

Earlier, media reports emerged regarding the possible assassination of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei.

According to media reports, Khamenei Jr. miraculously survived the attack on his bunker. He managed to leave the facility seconds before the strike but was wounded.

There were also reports that he was secretly taken to Moscow because he required surgery following the US and Israeli attack. It is claimed that he is allegedly undergoing treatment at one of Vladimir Putin’s residences.

It was reported that Khamenei Jr.’s health condition may be significantly more severe than officially stated. In particular, US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth noted that Khamenei was not merely wounded, which explains his prolonged absence from the public eye.

US President Donald Trump expressed doubts that Khamenei is alive, pointing out that he has yet to appear in public.
