​​​​​​​A significant number of high-profile IRGC figures have been killed in airstrikes over the past 48 hours. Those eliminated held key operational, engineering, intelligence, and command roles, dealing a serious blow to the Islamic Republic’s chain of command and battlefield coordination:
.

• Mohammad Sadeghi — Head of Engineering at Al-Ghadir Headquarters, overseeing missile site construction and tunnel infrastructure tied to Iran’s ballistic missile program
• Yahya al-Darir — Commander of a pro-Iranian Syrian militia in Aleppo; killed in Qom along with his wife and three sons after relocating to Iran following Assad’s fall
• Hassan Mahdi — IRGC member killed alongside his family in the same wave of strikes in Qom
• Colonel Ali Kuhkhil — IRGC commander linked to an alleged nuclear-related site at the Barkat Industries Complex in Alborz Province
• Reza Oradi — IRGC commander in the Sepah Ansar al-Reza division; killed in strikes near Birjand
• Ali Montazeri — Former IRIB executive and Intelligence Ministry employee; killed in a strike in northeastern Tehran
• Mohsen Najafi — Head of Inspections for the IRGC General Command; killed in early strikes targeting top leadership, later identified via DNA
• Hassan Mohammadi — Senior advisor to the Supreme National Security Council; also killed in the opening phase of the war, identity confirmed through DNA
• Seyyed Ali Tavasoli — IRGC Aerospace Forces officer involved in air defense systems

.
This wave of strikes appears to be systematically targeting leadership, degrading operational capability, and disrupting the regime’s military and intelligence infrastructure.
