Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Zahedi, a senior commander in Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), has been assassinated by Israel in Syria.
He was killed with six other people, including another Iranian general, when Israeli warplanes fired multiple missiles at the Iranian consulate in Damascus on Monday, levelling it.
According to “Aljazeera”, Zahedi was heavily engaged in advancing Iran’s reach across the region, having joined the Quds Force, the elite foreign operations arm of the IRGC, as a commander. He led operations in Syria and Lebanon, two countries where Iran’s political, religious, and military influence has flourished in the decades since its Islamic revolution.
Zahedi was the highest-ranking Iranian military commander to have been killed since Major General Qassem Soleimani, head of the Quds Force, who was assassinated by the United States in a drone strike in Iraq in January 2020.
On many occasions, Israeli media named Zahedi – and published images of him – as one of the top IRGC-Quds Force officials sought by Israel, along with Saeed Izadi, a top Iranian military liaison to Palestinians who was initially also rumored to have been killed on Monday. The speculation was later rejected.
Zahedi’s deputy, Brigadier General Mohamad Hadi Haji Rahimi, was also killed in the strike.
Images of Zahedi released by Iranian media after his assassination show him with other top Iran-aligned figures in the region.
One undated but decades-old image shows him standing next to Soleimani along with top Hezbollah figures, including leader Hassan Nasrallah and Israeli-assassinated former second-in-command Imad Mughniyeh.
Another image, appearing to be from the 1980–1988 Iran–Iraq War, depicts him close to Khamenei.
State television showed a gathering at Zahedi’s home on Tuesday alongside a picture showing the general next to Hassan Tehrani Moghaddam, known as the “father of Iran’s missile technology," who was killed in a mysterious November 2011 explosion near Tehran, for which no one was officially blamed.
