US Iran War: Tehran Confirms The Death Of Top IRGC Spy Chief Majid Khademi

Iranian state media announced on Monday that Majid Khademi, the head of the intelligence organisation of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, has been killed, according to a report cited by Reuters.

No further details surrounding the circumstances of his death were provided at the time of the announcement.

“Major General Majid Khademi, the powerful and educated head of the Intelligence Organisation of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, was martyred in the criminal terrorist attack by the American-Zionist enemy… at dawn today,” said the Guards in a post on their Telegram channel.

The development comes as Iranian officials continue to navigate heightened security and diplomatic pressures involving Iran, with the confirmation of Khademi’s death adding to a series of sensitive and closely watched events reported through state-linked media channels.

​The ​death of ‌Majid ⁠Khademi, ⁠the ​head of ​the ​Revolutionary ⁠Guards’ ‌intelligence ​organisation, ​was announced ⁠on ​Monday by ​Iranian ‌state ​media, ​without ⁠additional detail.

The report comes as Iran and the United States have received a proposed framework aimed at ending hostilities, Reuters reported citing a source familiar with the matter. The proposal could take effect as early as Monday and potentially reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global energy shipping route.

A plan to de-escalate tensions has been coordinated and exchanged with Iran and the United States overnight, the source said, outlining a two-stage approach beginning with an immediate ceasefire followed by a more comprehensive agreement.

The framework, it added, has been put together by Pakistan and shared as part of ongoing efforts to facilitate dialogue between the parties. “All elements need to be agreed today,” the source said, noting that the initial understanding would be formalised through a memorandum of understanding concluded electronically via Pakistan, which is acting as the sole communication channel in the discussions.

Separately, Axios first reported on Sunday that the United States, Iran and regional mediators were exploring a potential 45-day ceasefire as part of a two-phase arrangement that could ultimately lead to a permanent end to the conflict, citing sources from the United States, Israel and the wider region.
