On Friday, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced that Iran’s ‘main propagandist,’ Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) spokesman Ali Mohammad Naini, was killed in an overnight strike.
Naini, Iran’s very own ‘Bagdad Bob,’ consistently spread propaganda of the country’s ‘readiness for prolonged high-intensity war’ in the weeks before his death.
He was killed just a day after issuing a message on Iranian state television, which challenged the US Navy’s presence in the Persian Gulf.
Fars News Agency quoted him as recently saying, “Our missile industry deserves a perfect score… and there is no concern in this regard, because even under wartime conditions we continue missile production,” and asserting the country’s missile production is uninterrupted.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said missile production is continuing despite ongoing conflict, adding there are no shortages in stockpiles.
“Our missile industry deserves a perfect score in 2025 and there is no concern in this regard,” the IRGC spokesman Ali Mohammad Naini said Friday, adding production continues under wartime conditions and warning of “surprises” and more complex operations ahead.

IDF shared the news of Naini’s elimination.
“ELIMINATED: Ali Mohammad Naini, the Spokesperson and Head of the Public Relations Array of the IRGC.”
“Naini served in several propaganda and public relations roles.”
