The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps confirmed the death of the head of the Basij volunteer paramilitary force, Gholam Reza Soleimani.
This was reported by the Fars news agency.
“General Gholam Reza Soleimani, head of the Basij organization, was killed,” the message said.
Earlier, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said that the IDF had carried out a series of strikes on Iran, one of which killed Gholamreza Soleimani, as quoted by The Times of Israel.
“Larijani and the Basij commander were eliminated overnight, and they joined Khamenei and all the eliminated members of the axis of evil in the depths of hell,” the minister said.
