Iran's secret terror unit exposed
Key Points:
- Israeli intelligence and military forces exposed the full structure of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) terror apparatus following Operation Roaring Lion, which targeted terrorist infrastructures primarily in Azerbaijan and Cyprus.
- The operation led to the elimination of senior IRGC figures, including Rahman Mokadam, head of special operations, and Majid Khademi, head of the Revolutionary Guards' intelligence organization responsible for directing overseas terrorist activities.
- A Syrian warehouseman acting as a liaison between Tehran and terrorist cells, as well as Mehdi Yakh-Dahkan, who led operations in Azerbaijan and Turkey and smuggled explosive drones to Cyprus, were also killed.
- Israeli forces disrupted a complex terrorist cell in Azerbaijan that possessed explosive drones and cluster bombs, intended to attack strategic targets such as the BTC oil pipeline and gather intelligence on the Israeli embassy and Jewish community leaders.
- The operation marked a significant blow to Iranian terrorism by striking the core command of the IRGC terror network and preventing planned attacks on critical infrastructure and civilian targets.
