Israel Eliminates IRGC Spokesman in Tehran Airstrike
Israel's military took responsibility for killing Naini, the IRGC's main propagandist who incited attacks on Israel and suppressed protests at home, in a strike early Friday on Tehran. Appointed spokesman in 2024, he had just denied reports of crippled Iranian missile production. The hit is part of a 21-day war that began February 28 with U.S.-Israeli attacks on nuclear sites and IRGC leaders, as explosions continue and both sides dig in without de-escalation.
