Major General Ali Mohammad Naeini, the spokesperson for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), was killed this morning during airstrikes targeting central Tehran.
Operative Information Center-OMM reports that the IRGC released an official statement confirming the death of the high-ranking official.
According to the statement, Naeini, who served as the head of public relations for the organization, lost his life in an aerial attack carried out by the United States and Israel. The incident follows a series of missile strikes that targeted the eastern and central districts of Tehran early this morning.
The IRGC is a major branch of the Iranian Armed Forces, founded after the 1979 Islamic Revolution. It plays a significant role in Iran's internal security and regional military operations. The death of such a high-ranking spokesperson marks a significant escalation in regional tensions, as the IRGC remains a central pillar of the country's political and military structure. This event occurs amid heightened geopolitical friction involving US President Donald Trump and regional allies.
