Assassination of Iranian General Mohammad Reza Zahedi

Senior Iranian general Mohammad Reza Zahedi, who was assassinated in an Israeli airstrike, was reportedly involved in planning and executing Hamas's Oct. 7 attack on Israel. Iran launched a retaliation against Israel after Zahedi's death, denying involvement initially. MEMRI translated a letter from the Iranian Coalition Council of Islamic Revolution Forces mourning Zahedi's death and praising his role in the resistance front.
