Israel says it killed IRGC drone chief days after taking out his predecessor

The Israeli military says its air force has struck and killed Aminpour Joudaki, the commander of the second UAV brigade of the IRGC Air Force.

"As part of his role, Aminpour Joudaki advanced hundreds of UAV attacks against Israeli territory from the area of Ahvaz in southwestern Iran," the IDF said in a statement.

"Following the elimination of Taher Pour, the commander of the UAV headquarters of the IRGC Air Force on June 13, 2025, Joudaki assumed a key role in the headquarters' operations," it added.
