Iranian Commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Mohammad-Ali Fathalizadeh was killed on Wednesday in a US-Israeli strike.
Mohammad-Ali Fathalizadeh, also known as General Mohammad Ali Fathali-Zadeh, was the latest Iranian regime leader to be taken out by US and Israeli forces.
According to Xinhua, Iran’s Defa Press news agency, a news outlet affiliated with the General Staff of Iran’s Armed Forces, reported on Thursday.
Mohammad-Ali Fathalizadeh led the “fatehin” special unit of the IRGC.
According to SuperGrok:
Approximately 40 top Iranian officials (senior political, military/IRGC, intelligence, and security leaders) were killed in the 2026 US-Israel war on Iran.The conflict began on February 28, 2026, with coordinated U.S. and Israeli airstrikes targeting Iran’s nuclear sites, missile programs, and regime leadership. Multiple major sources, including Wikipedia’s casualty list (updated as of early April 2026), Axios, Reuters, Times of Israel, AP, and others, report an estimated total of around 40 top officials killed in the opening strikes and follow-on operations through late March/early April.This includes:Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei (killed in the initial Feb. 28 strike on his Tehran compound)
Key figures such as IRGC commander-in-chief Mohammad Pakpour, Armed Forces chief of staff Abdolrahim Mousavi, Defense Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh, Intelligence Minister Esmail Khatib, Supreme National Security Council secretary Ali Larijani, Basij commander Gholamreza Soleimani, and numerous deputy ministers, intelligence heads, and senior IRGC commanders.Some outlets describe the toll simply as “dozens,” while President Trump and reports from The Gateway Pundit cited figures of 40+ or 48 Iranian leaders eliminated. A few Israeli or U.S. sources have referenced higher counts (up to 70+) when including broader senior commanders, but the consensus figure for the highest-level (“top”) officials remains ~40.
