Israeli strikes killed IRGC intelligence chief, 2 generals as conflict deepens

Brigadier General Mohammad Kazemi, the intelligence chief of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), and his deputy, General Hassan Mohaqiq, were killed in an Israeli airstrike on Tehran, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in an interview with Fox News. “Moments ago, I can tell you we got their chief intelligence officer and his deputy in Tehran,” he said.

Iran’s official news agency IRNA also confirmed the deaths, quoting a statement from the Revolutionary Guards that said three intelligence generals—Mohammad Kazemi, Hassan Mohaqiq, and Mohsen Bagheri—had been “assassinated and fell as martyrs.”

Q: “Is regime change part of the effort here?”

NETANYAHU: “It could certainly be the result because the Iran regime is very weak.”

“Moments ago I can tell you we also got their chief intelligence officer and his deputy in Tehran.”
