Iran has confirmed the death of IRGC Quds Force general Abolfazl Nikooei, known as Haj Younes, during the 12-day conflict with Israel.
IRGC affiliated Tasnim news agency shared a photo of Nikooei alongside slain Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani who was killed in a US drone strike in January 2020.
On June 16, Israel's military said its air force struck a building near Tehran used by Iran’s intelligence services, killing four senior officials, including Nikooei.
