Unconfirmed: IRGC Chief Ahmad Vahidi ‘Eliminated’ in Tehran Airstrike?

Social media and Iranian opposition channels are reporting unverified claims that Maj. Gen. Ahmad Vahidi, commander-in-chief of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, was killed in overnight airstrikes on Tehran. As of June 8, 2026, no official source has confirmed his death. Iranian state media, the IRGC, Israeli officials, and major international outlets remain silent. Vahidi was named IRGC commander on March 1, 2026, after earlier leadership losses. He previously led the Quds Force, served as defense and interior minister, and faces a Red Notice over the 1994 AMIA bombing. If confirmed, his death would be a major blow to the IRGC hierarchy. I’m surprised at Iran’s missteps and curious what commentators like God1000 will say.
