Majid Khademi

Majid Khademi was the intelligence chief of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). He recently assumed the position a few months prior to his death, succeeding Mohammad Kazemi, who was killed in June 2025 during the Twelve-Day War. Khademi's death is newsworthy because he was a high-ranking official in a powerful Iranian organization, and his death occurred during a period of heightened tensions and direct conflict between Iran, the United States, and Israel. He was killed in an attack carried out by the US and Israel in early April 2026, amidst ongoing attacks and counterattacks between the involved nations. The IRGC has confirmed his death, describing him as an "influential and educated" figure. His death highlights the escalating conflict and the targeting of key individuals within the Iranian military apparatus.
