The killing of Maj. Gen. Majid Khademi — confirmed by Iran on April 6 — marked one of the highest-profile IRGC leadership casualties of the conflict. Khademi headed the Revolutionary Guard's intelligence apparatus, responsible for internal security, counterintelligence, and external operations coordination. His elimination was confirmed by a written statement attributed directly to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, who praised Khademi as joining a 'steadfast line of warriors and fighters' who sacrifice their lives. The younger Khamenei has not appeared in public since succeeding his father as Supreme Leader last month. Israeli strikes have now killed dozens of senior Iranian military officials including Khamenei's father.
