Israel Kills Iranian Intelligence Chief and Deputy; ‘Wide-Scale’ Strikes | 15 June 2025 | Israeli media sources and Iranian state media both confirmed late Sunday that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) had succeeded in killing Iran’s intelligence chief and his deputy, a major blow to the government. The fact that Israel was able to locate and to eliminate the highest officials in Iran’s intelligence hierarchy suggests an unprecedented depth of intelligence penetration – the entire government may be compromised. The Times of Israel reported: “Iranian state media officially confirms that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ intelligence chief, Brig. Gen. Mohammad Kazemi and his deputy Hassan Mohaqiq were killed in an Israeli strike today.”
