Major General Hussein Salami, the commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), replaced the intelligence chief on Friday to support efforts to shame the country’s enemies.
“The Commander of the Guard, Major General Hossein Salami, has appointed General Mohammad Kazemi as the new head of the IRGC intelligence agency,” Guard spokesman Ramezan Sharif said in a statement shared with AFP. Said.
According to the statement, Salami transferred former priest Hossein Taeb, who has been in office for more than 12 years, to an important role as his advisor.
The replacement of the intelligence chief came after the targeted killing of several members of the IRGC, considered a terrorist group by Iran’s sworn enemy the United States.
Iran and US ally Israel have been waging a ten-year proxy war, but tensions have risen due to a series of high-profile incidents in which Tehran has blamed the Jewish state.

While Tehran held Israel responsible for the killing of Iranian nuclear scientists ten years ago in the past, Iran did not directly blame its enemy Israel in its statement.
Iran did not recognize Israel after the 1979 Islamic Revolution, which overthrew the pro-Western monarchy and brought radical Islamists to power.
