Netanyahu confirms killing of IRGC intelligence chief and deputy in Tehran strike

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed that Israel killed Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) intelligence chief Mohammad Kazemi and his deputy Hassan Mohaqeq in a strike in Tehran.

“We decided to act because we had to. We saw enough enriched uranium for nine bombs. We are attacking their nuclear sites. We attacked their senior command, and I can update that just moments ago we also eliminated their intelligence chief and his deputy in Tehran,” Netanyahu said in an interview with Fox News.

Earlier, Iran International reported that Kazemi and Mohaqeq were trapped under rubble following an Israeli strike on the IRGC intelligence organization’s building in Tehran.
