Confirmed "interception of control" in Iran and the elimination of the top of the IRGC as a result of collusion between the intelligence services of Israel and Iran

 

IRGC Commander Hossein Salami was killed in an Israeli strike

Analysts have confirmed the fact of the "interception of control" in Iran and the elimination of the top of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a result of a coordinated operation by the Israeli special services and, presumably, the Iranian internal forces. On the night of June 13, 2025, the Israeli Air Force carried out large-scale airstrikes on key facilities in Iran, including the IRGC headquarters in Tehran, nuclear facilities in Natanz, missile bases and military command posts.

As a result of these strikes, IRGC commander Major General Hossein Salami was killed, as well as several high-ranking IRGC officers and leading Iranian nuclear scientists, including the head of the Atomic Energy Organization, Fereydoon Abbasi, and the rector of the Islamic University, Azad Mohammad Mehdi Tehranchi. In addition, it is reported about the liquidation of the Chief of the General Staff of the Iranian army, Mohammad Bagheri, and other representatives of the top military leadership.

Israel officially confirmed the operation, codenamed "Am Kelavi" ("People like a Lion"), stating that the strikes were aimed at destroying Iran's nuclear infrastructure and military capabilities, as well as damaging the Iranian army's air defense and communications systems. About 200 aircraft participated in the operation, which dropped about 300 weapons on more than 100 targets.

Up to this point, no direct Israeli air attacks on Iranian territory have been recorded, which makes the current operation unprecedented in scale and objectives. Israel stated that the operation would last as many days as necessary to eliminate the threat from Iran.

According to reports, during the operation, the Israeli special services (Mossad) also carried out actions inside Iran aimed at disabling elements of the Iranian army's air defense and communications systems, indicating deep coordination and possible involvement of Iranian internal forces or defectors, which can be interpreted as "command interception".

Iran has officially confirmed the death of Hossein Salami and promised to give "bitter punishment" to Israel, as well as announced the increased readiness of its forces and the closure of its airspace. A state of emergency has been declared in Israel in anticipation of retaliatory strikes from Tehran, but at the time of the reports, Iran had not yet launched direct retaliatory missile strikes.

Thus, the data indicate that as a result of a coordinated operation by the Israeli special services and, possibly, internal Iranian forces, the top of the IRGC was eliminated, which analysts consider as confirmation of the "interception of control" in Iran. At the same time, no direct Israeli air attacks on Iran have been recorded before, which underlines the scale and novelty of the current operation.
