Tehran rocked: Israel’s precision strikes wipe out Iran’s spy elites!
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) on Monday confirmed the killing of two senior Iranian intelligence officials amid ongoing Israeli strikes in Tehran.
The officials, part of Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence, have been identified as Sayed Yahya Hamidi, Deputy Minister of Intelligence for “Israel Affairs,” and Jalal Pour Hossein, Head of the Espionage Division.
The IDF said Hamidi led terrorist operations targeting Jews, Western actors, and regime opponents in Iran and abroad.
Pour Hossein headed the country’s espionage division. Both were targeted during the opening strike of Operation “Roaring Lion,” guided by precise Israeli intelligence.
The IDF added that additional senior officials were also eliminated.
The escalation follows Israeli and US strikes in Iran on Saturday that reportedly killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

US President Donald Trump confirmed that American forces targeted Khamenei, calling him “one of the most evil people in history” and urging Iranians to “take back their country.”
The strikes are described by US and Israeli officials as part of a broader campaign to dismantle Iran’s ruling establishment and weaken its military and nuclear command.
Khamenei, who succeeded Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini after the 1979 Islamic Revolution, had ruled as Iran’s top political and religious authority for over three decades.
His reported death marks a significant escalation in the Middle East, raising fears of wider regional conflict and political instability.
