Death
On 15 June 2025, Israel launched an airstrike on a building in Tehran, where senior IRGC intelligence personnel were located. The strike killed both Mohammad Kazemi and Mohaghegh, along with additional high-ranking officials within the Quds Force and other IRGC intelligence departments.[8]
The IDF officially confirmed Mohaghegh's death and noted his prior leadership of strategic intelligence operations. Iranian media, including Tasnim, as well as Xinhua, confirmed the deaths of both intelligence officials alongside other officers in the same incident. The IRGC issued statements condemning the attack, and pledging continued military action against Israel.[9][10]
