IDF strike kills Head of Commerce at Iranian regime's oil headquarters
Key Points:
- The Israeli Air Force killed Mohammad Reza Ashrafi Kahi, a senior commander in Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Oil Headquarters, responsible for funding the regime's police force through oil sales.
- Kahi played a key role in advancing IRGC operations and supporting proxies like the Houthis, Hezbollah, and Hamas, as well as financing Iran's ballistic missile and drone programs used against Israel and Gulf countries.
- Over the past day, Israel struck more than 120 sites in central and western Iran, targeting ballistic missile infrastructure, drone facilities, and air defense sites to maintain airspace sovereignty.
- These strikes followed the recent killing of Jamshid Eshaqi, another commander of Iran's Oil Headquarters, who managed financial support for Iran's military industries and terror proxies in the Middle East.
