[Has Israel "Decapitated" the Commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guard?]
Although Israel and Iran quickly ceased hostilities after a brief clash, rumors suddenly spread across social media claiming that Iran's Revolutionary Guard commander, Vahidi, was directly "decapitated" by Israel during this confrontation.
According to "Gulf News," several social media accounts consistently monitoring the conflict between Israel and Iran have circulated this claim. However, this information remains unverified by independent reports and has not been covered by any mainstream media outlets—even "Iran International," known for its access to internal Iranian information, has not reported on it.
Following the alleged "decapitation" of key Iranian political and military leaders including Khamenei and Larijani, the Revolutionary Guard swiftly seized control of Iran’s decision-making apparatus. Commander Vahidi, who assumed office in March, has become a central figure in Iran’s leadership. Many of the hardline decisions made during the U.S.-Iran war and subsequent negotiations were largely his call. Furthermore, he has taken away significant powers previously held by the government. The Iranian president has expressed dissatisfaction but lacks the ability to counteract these moves. If Vahidi’s alleged "decapitation" is true, it would severely undermine Iran’s command structure.
Theoretically, Israel excels at "decapitation" tactics, so the idea that they targeted Vahidi during this brief conflict seems plausible. However, such a major event—regardless of Iran’s silence—would likely prompt Israel to publicly announce it. Given that no official statement has emerged from Israel, the claim about Vahidi being "decapitated" still requires further verification and remains highly dubious.
