Israeli strike kills Iran’s senior military intelligence chief, Iran confirms

Iran has confirmed that Major General Mohammad Bagheri, its Chief of Staff, was killed in an Israeli airstrike on June 13, 2025. This attack is part of a broader Israeli operation targeting Iran’s nuclear and military infrastructure.

Bagheri, who had served as the Chief of Staff since 2016, was a prominent figure in Iran’s military leadership. His death, along with that of IRGC Commander Hossein Salami and other senior officials, marks a significant escalation in the ongoing tensions between Israel and Iran.

In response, Iran has vowed severe retaliation, including missile strikes on Israel and support for allied groups in the region. The international community is closely monitoring the situation, with concerns about the potential for a wider regional conflict.
