Authorities say the killing comes after strikes blamed on the United States and Israel.
Iranian state television has reported that Ali Mohammad Naini, a spokesperson for Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and its deputy head of public relations, was killed in strikes carried out by the United States and Israel.
Details surrounding the timing and location of the strike remain unclear, but officials confirmed the senior figure’s death on Friday, describing it as a significant loss to the organization’s media and communications wing.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, a powerful branch of Iran’s military, plays a central role in the country’s defense and regional operations. Naini was known for regularly briefing media and shaping official narratives during periods of heightened tensions.
There has been no immediate confirmation or comment from US or Israeli authorities regarding the reported operation.
The development comes amid escalating hostilities in the region, raising concerns about further retaliation and a potential widening of the conflict.
