Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps  (IRGC) says their spokesman Ali Mohammad Naini was killed in US and Israeli strikes, marking another high-level casualty in the conflict.
 
Naini "was martyred in the criminal cowardly terrorist attack by the American-Zionist side at dawn," the Guards announced on their Sepah News website.
 
Iranian state media also reported that Naini, who had served as the IRGC's spokesperson since 2024, was killed during the strikes, though there has been no immediate confirmation from Israel or the US.
