The death of Ali Mohammad Naini, spokesperson for Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), was announced Friday, with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) saying in a post on X that he was ‘eliminated.’
“Naini served in several propaganda and public relations roles. In his role as the IRGC’s main propagandist for the past 2 years, he disseminated the regime’s terrorist propaganda to its proxies across the Middle East in order to influence and advance terror attacks against Israel.”
They also claimed he “played a significant role in the recent suppression of Iranian protests.”
The IRGC in a Friday statement confirmed the death, saying he “was martyred in the criminal cowardly terrorist attack by the American-Zionist side at dawn,” according to Al Jazeera.
Hours before, Naini reportedly told Iranian media that the Islamic Republic is continuing to produce missiles in spite of the conditions of war.
