The Iranian Revolutionary Guard has announced that Colonel Daoud Jafari, of the Air Force – Space Force, was killed during his mission in Syria, following the detonation of an explosive device near Damascus, and accused Tel Aviv of having played a role in his death.
In its statement, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard said that Israel will receive a response to this measure.
The Israeli side did not respond to this news.
Interestingly, in recent months, Israel has repeatedly targeted the websites of the Iranian regime and its affiliated militias in Syria.
In recent months, a large number of people associated with Iranian military projects have died in suspicious ways.
On 12 June, IRGC-affiliated news agencies reported in two separate news outlets that Ali Kamani and Mohammad Abdos, two members of the IRGC’s space unit, were killed in the towns of Khomein and Semnan.
The cause of Ali Kamani’s death was “a driving accident during a mission” and the death of Muhammad Abdus, an employee of the Semnan Aerospace Unit, was announced “during a mission”.
Meanwhile, “Iran International” announced in an exclusive news story on June 13 that Abdous and Kamani, “two air force and aerospace engineering officers in the Revolutionary Guard”, were working in the field of “production and development of weapons for the Lebanese Hezbollah”.
Ayoub Waitari, who studied at the Sharif University of Technology and was a specialist in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard’s missile and drone program, also died of “food poisoning”.
At the same time, a geologist named Kamran Agha Malai died of “food poisoning”.
In a special report on Monday, June 13, The New York Times quoted a government official and two sources close to the Iranian government as saying that Islamic Republic authorities blamed Israel for the deaths of these two people.
