Israel dealt a significant blow to Iran and Palestine by eliminating Saeed Izadi, a key figure in the Palestine Corps of the Quds Force. Izadi was killed in an Israeli airstrike on June 21, 2025, in Qom, Iran, following a targeted intelligence operation. The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) described Izadi as a critical link between Iran and Hamas, accusing him of orchestrating the October 7 attacks and funneling Iranian funds to support Hamas’ terrorist activities against Israel.
During the ongoing conflict, Izadi reportedly directed Hamas operations from Lebanon and worked to rebuild Hamas’ military capabilities while maintaining its control over Gaza. The IDF further claimed that Izadi was planning a multi-front attack on Israel, involving missile strikes and a large-scale invasion by militants from Lebanon, Syria, Gaza, and the West Bank. Both the U.S. and Britain had previously sanctioned Izadi for his ties to Hamas and Islamic Jihad, groups linked to the October 7 attacks.
The assassination comes amid escalating tensions between Israel and Iran, marked by recent tit-for-tat strikes. Meanwhile, Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, issued a stern warning to the United States on June 18, 2025, vowing that Iran would respond decisively to any aggression. Speaking to the nation, Khamenei emphasized that Iran would match war with war and strike with strike, cautioning that the U.S. would face severe consequences if it pursued military action against Iran.
