Basij Chief Killed as Iran Faces Intensified US-Israeli Strikes

Brig. Gen. Gholamreza Soleimani, head of Iran’s Basij paramilitary, was killed in the US-Israeli war on Iran, confirmed by the IRGC. A veteran of the Iran-Iraq War, Soleimani led the Basij since 2019 and previously commanded regional units, including the Saheb al-Zaman Corps in Isfahan; his death, along with the reported killing of Ali Larijani, underscores how Iran’s top security figures are being targeted as hostilities intensify and the Basij is repeatedly used to quell domestic unrest.

Israel claims kill of Iran's senior security figure in Tehran air strike

Israel says its air strike near Tehran killed Ali Larijani, Iran's senior security official and a close ally of Supreme Leader Khamenei, along with Basij commander Gholamreza Soleimani; Tehran has not confirmed the deaths. The claim, if confirmed, would represent a major escalation in the Iran-Israel confrontation that has already triggered regional hostilities and disrupted oil flows.

Israel claims Iran’s top security chief Ali Larijani killed in overnight strike

Israel says it killed Ali Larijani, Iran’s top security official, in overnight airstrikes, a claim Tehran has not yet commented on; if confirmed, it would be a major blow to the regime’s security establishment. Israel also says Basij commander Gholamreza Soleimani and other Basij figures were killed. The reports underscore Israel’s alleged intelligence reach inside Tehran amid the broader US-Israeli war on Iran; Iran published a handwritten note attributed to Larijani but officials cautioned it does not prove he is alive.

Israel claims hit on Iran's top security chiefs amid widening conflict

Israel says it killed Ali Larijani, Iran’s secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, and Basij commander Gholamreza Soleimani in strikes, though Tehran has not confirmed the deaths. If verified, the killings would be the war’s highest-level leadership strikes to date and signal a major escalation, though analysts caution the moves could be symbolic and not necessarily indicate regime collapse.

Israel widens strikes on Iran, hitting IRGC command hubs

Israel says it has expanded its strikes against Iran, targeting central command centers of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and the Basij in western and central Iran to degrade Tehran’s ability to plan and execute attacks; the campaign, backed by the United States, has reportedly hit more than 15,000 targets and is expected to continue for weeks as Iran vows to keep fighting and denies having a nuclear weapons program, while spillover tensions ripple into Iraq and drive up energy prices.

Basij in Tehran fear being targeted as Israeli drone strikes mount

As Israeli and U.S. strikes escalate against Tehran-area Basij and IRGC checkpoints, a leaked Basij audio urges troops not to panic or abandon posts. Reports say more Basij members are skipping duty out of fear of being targeted, while drones (including Heron TP) and jets are used to locate and hit targets, with forces hiding in civilian sites and instructed to switch off phones to avoid detection.

Israel targets Tehran Basij bases amid reports of Iranian civilian support

Israel says it is tracking and striking Basij checkpoints and other IRGC security sites in Tehran to degrade the regime’s internal security apparatus, with Prime Minister Netanyahu saying Israel has delivered “crushing blows” to the IRGC and Basij. The reports cite social-media videos from Iranians showing Basij targets, while analysts note satellite imagery indicating multiple Basij bases hit; Iran claims casualties from drone strikes and warns residents amid a crackdown on protests that activists say has killed thousands. The development, occurring alongside a major rally and Iranian officials’ rhetoric, could widen space for anti-regime demonstrations if strikes continue.

Iranian Civilians Allegedly Aid Israeli Strikes, WSJ Reports

The Wall Street Journal reports that ordinary Iranians have been sending Persian-language intelligence to Israeli social media accounts, which Israeli authorities verify before strikes in Tehran (including Basij checkpoints). Iran says drones targeted security forces with casualties; if confirmed, this would indicate a civilian-sourced layer in Israel’s targeting inside Iran.

Israel hits Tehran security hubs in latest airstrikes

Israel says it struck Iranian internal-security command centers in Tehran, part of a campaign to degrade the regime’s ability to quell protests, in coordination with U.S. actions under Operation Epic Fury. The strikes target Basij and other security facilities, and come amid signals from Israel and the U.S. about potential regime change, though analysts caution that removing leadership or dismantling security structures may not easily topple Iran's ruling system.

Iran’s protests face escalated crackdown as internet cuts deepen

AP reports an unprecedented crackdown on Iran’s protests across hundreds of cities, aided by Basij and security forces who have fired on crowds, caused arson and extensive damage, while nationwide internet and phone outages obscure casualty figures. Official tallies run into the thousands and are contested by rights groups, as authorities seek to curb dissent and anticipate potential renewed demonstrations around the 40-day memorials, all amid international attention and escalating rhetoric.
