Iran-US-Israel War Latest News: The ongoing conflict in the Middle East has taken another major turn after Iran confirmed the death of one of its top intelligence officials in a recent strike. The killing highlights the growing intensity of military operations between Iran, the United States, and Israel, which have continued for more than a month.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards announced that Major General Majid Khademi, who led one of the country’s most powerful intelligence units, died in an early morning attack. His death adds to the list of senior Iranian officials who have been killed during the conflict that began with coordinated strikes on February 28.
“Major General Majid Khademi, the powerful and educated head of the Intelligence Organisation of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, was martyred in the criminal terrorist attack by the American-Zionist enemy… at dawn today,” said the Guards in a post on their Telegram channel.
Officials described the attack as part of a wider strategy targeting high-ranking figures connected to Iran’s military and intelligence network.
Iran-US-Israel War Latest News: Who Was Major General Majid Khademi?
Majid Khademi served for many years in Iran’s intelligence and counter-intelligence operations before taking charge of the Revolutionary Guards’ intelligence wing. He assumed leadership after the death of Gen. Mohammad Kazemi, who was killed in a previous conflict phase.
Before becoming the intelligence chief, Khademi led the Intelligence Protection Organisation of the Revolutionary Guards. This unit focused on internal security, surveillance, and preventing espionage threats within the country’s military and political institutions.
Over the years, Khademi built a reputation as a skilled intelligence officer who handled sensitive security matters. He also held senior positions within Iran’s defence ministry, further strengthening his influence inside the country’s security system.
The intelligence wing he headed operates directly under the authority of Iran’s supreme leadership. It plays a major role in monitoring national security threats and managing counter-intelligence operations.
Iran-US-Israel War Latest News: Iran Confirms Killing of Majid Khademi
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) confirmed in a statement shared by Iranian media that its intelligence chief, Majid Khademi, was killed this morning. The group alleged that Israel and the United States were behind the attack.
The Israel Defence Forces (IDF), when contacted, said they would “look into” the reported incident. Khademi had assumed the position after his predecessor Mohammad Kazemi was killed in an Israeli strike on June 15, 2025, during the 12-day Iran-Israel conflict.
Iran-US-Israel War Latest News: Multiple Senior Officials Reportedly Killed in Ongoing Conflict
Khademi’s death follows a series of targeted strikes that have eliminated several high-ranking Iranian figures since the conflict began.
Reports indicate that multiple top leaders have been killed in separate attacks, including military commanders and security advisers. These incidents have weakened parts of Iran’s leadership structure and increased tensions across the region.
Security experts believe the repeated targeting of senior officials aims to disrupt command networks and reduce Iran’s operational capabilities. Each strike has also heightened fears of further escalation between the involved nations.
Iran-US-Israel War Latest News: Strait of Hormuz Preparations Add to Regional Tensions
Alongside the military strikes, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards have announced preparations to enforce new operating conditions in the Strait of Hormuz. This shipping route plays a crucial role in global energy supply and has remained under heavy security watch since the conflict began.
“The IRGC naval force is completing operational preparations for the Iranian authorities’ #declared_plan for the new Persian Gulf order,” the Guards naval forces said in a post on X Sunday.
Officials also warned that shipping conditions in the region may change permanently due to the ongoing conflict. “They warned conditions in the strait will never return to its former status, especially for the US and Israel.”
These developments have raised concerns among global energy markets and shipping companies, which depend heavily on safe passage through the route.
Iran-US-Israel War Latest News: Growing Risk of Wider Conflict in the Region
The continued targeting of senior officials and the tightening security around key maritime routes have increased fears of a prolonged conflict in the region.
Political analysts warn that each new strike raises the possibility of retaliation, potentially leading to broader military engagement. With the Strait of Hormuz remaining under pressure, global trade and energy supplies could face further disruption.
As tensions remain high, governments worldwide continue to monitor the situation closely, fearing that prolonged instability in the region may affect international security and economic stability.
