ALBAWABA - Israeli social media accounts are reportedly sharing information that IRGC commander Ahmad Vahidi was killed in an Israeli strike on Monday.
Ahmad Vahidi served in different eras as the Minister of Defense and the Interior Minister. He was appointed as the Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on March 1.
Vahidi is also a member of the Expediency Discernment Council. He was named by the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei as the deputy of the IRGC last December.
Was Ahmad Vahidi killed in attacks by Israel?
Several Israeli-linked media posts on X claimed that the IRGC commander who threatened Israel on Sunday was killed in a Tel Aviv strike on Tehran.
An X post read, "Iranian opposition media are claiming that IRGC commander Ahmad Vahidi may have been killed in Israeli airstrikes inside Tehran. Vahidi had reportedly issued a direct threat against Israel earlier today. There is no official confirmation at this stage."
Another account wrote, "An underground facility in the area of Kouhsar Park in northwest Tehran was targeted. Allegedly, IRGC commander Ahmad Vahidi is said to have been there, but there is no confirmation yet."
A netizen claimed that the IRGC commander was hiding at "an underground facility in the area of Kouhsar Park in northwest Tehran."
However, until now, there is no official confirmation from Iran, Israel, or credible outlets, and the reports are still unverified, considering that similar claims circulated before.
