Breaking News: IRGC Intelligence Chief Killed as Iran–Israel Attacks Intensify

A major escalation has unfolded in the Middle East conflict as Iran’s elite force, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), suffers a significant blow. The IRGC’s Intelligence Chief, Majid Khatami, has reportedly been killed in US-Israel strikes, with confirmation coming from Iranian sources. Simultaneously, Iran has launched a massive counteroffensive against Israel, firing its 57th wave of missiles and drones. The worst-hit area is Tel Aviv, where cluster bomb attacks caused widespread destruction and panic. Other cities, including Haifa, Petah Tikva, and the West Bank, also witnessed heavy bombardment. Over the past 24 hours, multiple regions have come under fire. In Iran, Tehran, Bushehr, and Ahvaz were targeted, while Iran struck US-linked bases in Baghdad and Sulaymaniyah. Meanwhile, Israeli strikes hit Beirut and Nabatieh. The conflict is rapidly intensifying, with both sides launching relentless attacks, causing widespread destruction and raising fears of a broader regional war.
