Thekabarnews.com—Iran confirms that a planned attack killed Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Intelligence Chief Majid Khademi. The attack took place while the battle was still going on in the area.

Iranian state media reported Khademi died on April 6, and they used an official IRGC statement to back up their claim. The statement said that American-Zionist forces carried out a terrorist attack that killed Khademi. Therefore, the report indicates that Tehran thinks the US and Israel are to blame for the attack.

The report supports long-standing claims made by people in Israel. The Jerusalem Post reports that the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) and Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz both said they were part of the operation that killed Khademi. However, there is not much independent proof that shows what happened in this case.

Many people thought Khademi was one of Iran’s best spies because he had been working in intelligence and counter-espionage for a long time. He started out in Iran’s security forces. He then worked his way up through the IRGC. As a result, he became an important part of its intelligence system.

Khademi was in charge of the Protection Unit, which is responsible for monitoring and counterintelligence within the IRGC. In June 2025, he took over as head of the IRGC’s intelligence department.

He was also in charge of important jobs in Iran’s Ministry of Defense. This made him even more important for the country’s safety.

Khademi became head of intelligence after an Israeli airstrike killed his boss. He was in charge of Iran’s strategic intelligence work when things were very tense between Iran and its enemies in the area.

Israeli officials reported that Khademi was one of the most important people in the IRGC. They also said he was still working when he died. His death will likely have a big impact on Iran’s intelligence work. Moreover, it could make things worse in the area.

There have been a number of targeted attacks since the US and Israel attacked Tehran together in late February. This incident is the most recent one. Since then, many famous Iranians have died, which is a sign that things are getting worse.

Attacking high-ranking officials could worsen the cycle of revenge between Iran and its enemies. This would increase the likelihood of more regional instability.

Things are still changing, and both sides are still ready to fight. The situation indicates that the ongoing tensions and conflicts are escalating rather than resolving.

Khademi’s death signals a worsening conflict and highlights the expanding role of intelligence and targeted actions. Consequently, the incident may lead to further retaliatory measures. It could also mean an increase in violence between Iran and its adversaries.
