Five members of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps 'killed'

Five members of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps have been killed in an Israeli attack, the force has told Iranian state media.

This elite military unit is the dominant branch of the Iranian armed forces.

It was set up shortly after the 1979 Islamic Revolution, when a movement led by Muslim students led to the overthrowing of the US-backed Pahlavi dynasty.

It was introduced to provide extra protection for the new regime and to act as a counterweight to the regular armed forces.

It has an estimated 125,000-strong military with army, navy and air units - some analysts believe the figure is far higher.

Five IRGC Members Killed in Israeli Strike on Khorramabad, Iranian Media Reports

ERBIL (Kurdistan24) — Five members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) were killed in Israeli airstrikes on the western Iranian city of Khorramabad, according to a report by Iran’s Mehr News Agency on Saturday, as cited by Turkey’s state-run Anadolu Agency (AA).

Khorramabad, the capital of Lorestan province, had not previously been identified as a primary target in the ongoing Iran-Israel conflict, which erupted on June 13, 2025.

The strike on Khorramabad represents a geographic expansion of Israeli targeting, reaching further into Iran’s western provinces. Iranian state media said the fatalities were IRGC personnel, though no official names or ranks have been released as of yet.

Earlier on Saturday, Iranian outlets also reported that two people were killed and four others injured in an Israeli strike on the city of Qom in central Iran. Both cities have now joined Tehran and other regions on the growing list of targets in Israel’s campaign against Iranian military and nuclear infrastructure.

The conflict began on June 13 when Israel launched widespread airstrikes on multiple sites across Iran, including suspected nuclear facilities and high-level military positions. Iran responded with a barrage of missile and drone attacks aimed at Tel Aviv and other locations within Israel.

According to Israeli authorities, at least 25 people have been killed and hundreds injured by Iranian missile attacks since the hostilities began.

Meanwhile, the Iranian Health Ministry has reported that at least 430 people have been killed and more than 3,500 others wounded as a result of Israeli airstrikes.

The figures underline the intensifying human toll of the conflict, with both nations continuing to exchange fire amid international concerns about further escalation.

Random aimless shots by Iran to follow shortly

I don't support any side but one has to give MOSSAD their flowers. There is intelligence and there is intelligence.

Nigeria's NIA and DIA left the group chat. Common local bandits we never tackle with our so-called elite intelligence community. Na only to dey collect fat pay cheques them dey intelligent about. Lol

After the IDF are done taking out Iran's commanders and missiles launchers then iran will understand the full meaning of operation rising Lion.

They the same as fulani herdsmen and boko haram. Man is his beliefs

Hmmmmm, interesting, this is getting tough.

War mongers, end time 'prophets', abeg make una mercy for us na. All these things wey una dey happy for, na everybody go pay oh.
Your love for and prayer for and against Jerusalem go touch your pocket and your parents own, no be film or vibes be war.

Who still takes western media serious.?

Even Israel admits they are suffering massive blow.

Make una sha dey verify news before una post. [font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font]

Iran continues to be battered by Isreal, while terrorists supporters come online to console themselves that Iran is wining the war. If Isreal decide to throw bombs indiscriminately like Iran does, then the death toll would be in tens of thousands under this one week. Only 25 missiles managed to penetrate and land in Isreal with minimal destruction compared to the strikes delivered by Isreal in Iran.

Isreal is wining the war without much noise

Isreal is fighting Iran elite Army while the cowards are fighting Isreal civilians

I really hope we as Africans will see the bigger picture here concerning the Israel-Iran war. This war is never about Iran enriching nuclear, I repeat, THIS WAR IS NEVER ABOUT IRAN ENRICHING NUCLEAR. It is a pretext for something much sinister, western-style. There are a lot of moving parts to unravel. First you need to dig deep into the Israel’s formation, the relationship between Israel and USA, and by extension, Israel and the collective Western countries. I’m not going to go into nitty gritty, you can do your own research.

Iran’s nuclear program has always been under America’s intense scrutiny. Even after years of satellite monitoring and intelligence reports, There was no definitive evidence that emerged to prove that Iran is actively pursuing the development of nuclear weapons. This same rhetoric was used as a pretext to invade Iraq during the regime of Sadam Hussein. Did they find any nuclear weapon in Iraq? NO, yet America was hellbent on forcing a regime change in Iraq, they killed thousands of civilians, destabilised the country because of their strategic and geopolitical interests. After America overthrew Saddam Hussein, ISIS was born. Iraq today is a $hithole, way worse than it was before invasion.

Remember Libya? Libya had one of the highest GDPs per capita in Africa under Gaddafi, with free education, healthcare, and subsidized housing. Gaddafi was a Pan African who positioned himself as a champion of Africa Unity, advocating for a United States of Africa with a common government, military and currency. He invested heavily in many Africa countries, he worked to introduce a gold backed dinar which was intended to replace the CFA Franc which will challenge the dominance of dollar and Euro in Africa. The West saw that as a threat to their economic order. What later happened? They created condition the Arab Spring uprising which gave them a reason to invoke United Nation mandate to “protect civilian” (They don’t give a F about you by the way). They called NATO in, NATO created the condition and environment for rebel forces to capture and kill Ghadaffi. What became of Libya afterwards? Nothing but a failed state. The country is in ruins, a major haven for terrorists and a hub for illegal arms dealing.

Remember Somalia? Though the West didn’t invent in Somalia’s crisis but it contributed significantly to its collapse. Remember Syria too? Ukraine is fresh. Notice a pattern? A pattern of coup, regime change, unrests, instilling a leader of their chosen to favour their own economic interest. Wait, you really think you vote for your own leaders? Who do you think are supporting terrorists like BH etc?

Back to Iran, The core issue has never truly been uranium enrichment, it has been Iran’s pursuit of independence. Unlike several Arab governments, Iran resists aligning with Washington’s agenda, rejects normalization with Israel under current conditions, and refuses to integrate into the Western geopolitical sphere. For this defiance, it faces consequences: economic sanctions, diplomatic isolation, and, when deemed necessary, military threats. So the war is a manufactured crisis designed to justify murder under the pretence of security.

If Iran wants to build a nuclear weapon, why can’t they? Israel have nuclear weapon but are not signatory to Non Nuclear Proliferation Treaty. Iran that doesn’t have nuclear weapon is a signatory to the treaty. Why? So that the west can suppress and harass them. Do you not think North Korea would have been invaded already? The only reason the West would NEVER try it is because North Korea has nuclear weapons. If Iran has nuclear weapon, the illegal assault on Iran by Israel and USA wouldn’t have happened. If Iran have nuclear weapon, do you think they will use it? No! Because no one wins a nuclear war. If Iran attack any nation with nuclear weapon, another nation will turn the whole of Iran to dust. It’s as simple as that. Nuclear weapon is a deterrence. The west would make you believe that Iran is a terrorist state because guess what? All the western media that we consume is owned by Jews. All the CNN, Fox News, Sky News UK, Daily Mail, MSNBC and all the online news etc, name it. They’ve also infiltrated Africa media to push THEIR narrative and their narratives only. Israel has destroyed every hospital in Gaza, how much of that do you see in the media? Iran launched a missile to hospital in Israel and it’s all over the news.

USA and the collective West also wants to maintain their economic, military and political dominance on the who world. Iran is in their way of achieving that. If they are successful in destabilising Iran, that means the West have control of the Persian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz where the shipping of commodities that powers the world passes through. Also, a destabilised Iran means the whole of Middle East is in America’s pocket. The dollar has dominated world trade for almost 100 years. Other world power are challenging that, bringing alternatives like BRICS to the table which will truly make the world multipolar, diminishing USA and western influence. Major players in BRICS are Russia and China. If Iran falls, Russia’s influence will dwindle, China will feel it. This will be a huge setback for BRICS which means USA and the dollar maintain dominance. This also means Russia and China’s influence is Africa will dwindle and America’s and Europe’s influence in Africa grows. The West has never had the best interest of Africa at heart, other than steal, extort, oppress and suppress. China and Russia are trading fairly with African nations, without conditions. Guess who has traded one sided deals plus conditions with Africa? Your guess is as good as mine. Yes, the West! But we have Stockholm syndrome as Africans, that’s why we believe America and Europe are our friends, they’re not. Far from it!

This is certainly America’s war using their proxy (Israel) because Israel will never start a war without America’s approval. When America and the West are planning a war, they use peace as a pretext, history is a lesson. They’ve caused enough havoc to the world already. There are several reports and videos (which I can share of course) of them claiming that they are intentionally keeping Africa poor because a rich Africa is a threat to them but like I said, we are now seeing a multipolar world where the world don’t have to look up to America. But America has woken up to that fact and wants to severe the chance of a multipolar world. Waging a war against Iran is a starting point. Wake up and see the bigger picture!

And to Religious zealots, this is not a religious war, it’s not a Christian v Muslim war. If you think the people of Israel referenced in the bible are the same modern day Israeli people, then I feel sorry for whoever sent you to school.


Too Long; Didn’t Read (TL;DR): The conflict with Iran isn’t really about nuclear weapons — that’s just a pretext. The real issue is Iran’s refusal to submit to U.S. and Western dominance, align with Israel, or abandon its independent foreign policy. Similar Western-backed interventions in Iraq, Libya, Somalia, and elsewhere have led to chaos, regime changes, and weakened nations — all in service of maintaining global dominance, especially of the U.S. dollar and Western interests. Iran’s resistance, alongside rising powers like Russia and China through BRICS, threatens this control. The Israel-Iran conflict is part of a broader geopolitical strategy to crush independent voices and preserve Western hegemony — not a religious war or fight for global security. Africans/Nigerians must wake up and see the bigger picture.

5 out of 125,000 is very infinitesimal. It is barely a scratch on the surface

they have gone to meet their maker in the great beyond

At the rate at which Isreal is eliminating this IRG members, there will be none left very soon

When most foreign businesses, airline, shipline, techline etc have fled Israel due to the war. They are concerned about 5 Iranian soldiers dead? If these trend continue for one month, there will be no more Israel


MAERSK, the world’s largest shipping company, suspended all vessel calls to Haifa port due to the escalating conflict.

The company cited “threat risk reports” and concerns for crew safety. Israel’s northern coast is now too dangerous for global shipping

In any war, both sides suffer, but one side often suffers more. In this case, Iran is likely to bear the heavier cost because it cannot match Israel in terms of precision, meticulous planning, cutting-edge technology, and strategic determination.

Israel’s objective is clear: to degrade Iran’s capacity to acquire nuclear weapons and to eliminate key Iranian military leaders and scientists. It appears they are making progress toward that goal, while Iran, on the other hand, is launching missiles indiscriminately into Israel without achieving any clearly defined objective.

Random shooting u say😂😂😂
Since Sunday, Israel casualties nva pass 25😂

Dem even say na only civilian buildings are being hit. Meanwhile even Cnn confirmed government nd military assets are being hit badly.
Dats why Israel dey chase reporters nd media away from recording nd also censoring everything.

We knw as e dey go 😂

War is never a good experience.
I pray for peace all over the world.

Anything negatively affecting helpless children is saddening.

God, please let there be peace.

IDF keeps decimating the men that matters in the act of terrorism( nuclear scientists, heads of military operations, missiles launchers and key members that make decisions in the strike). Over time, the Persians will realise the extent of damage done to them at the back door. U can't claim to be winning a war and Ur key men are gotten rid of in droves on daily basis. I think Israel is more sophisticated in this war than Iran. They should just throw in the trowel and meet the necessary bodies that can stop this war, it's a battle lost before starting. My two cents.

Try and make your own analysis and write intelligently with your own arguments, not some thrashy stuff written by one hater somewhere shouting death to America and Jews

They said 5 of them were taken out today that does not mean that that is the only ones they have taken out so far ..go confirm lady .


I just pity iran ...when Israel is done with the tactical and strategic approach in dismantling Iran's fighting power, you will see armoured tanks, ground troops operation and F-22 and F-35 fighter jets doing the lords work.

There is what we call Due Diligence. No room for terrorism and its financiers.

O ne gbe oviagha..oboshan.

Last year, It's the same strategy Israel used to weaken Hezbollah.

The commanders are valuable human resources that have trained and retrained for decades. They also have 8 years war experience during the Iraq vs Iran war.

It will be difficult for Gen Z to fill those gaps.

The Iranian terrorists are now endangered species.


If they have any wisdom left, they would pally with Israel and America, and make Israel and America build 3 nuclear plants for iran, then Israel and USA will have 50% stock for 50 years, then maybe let china and Russia build one each, same thing 50% stake; They can also have Israelis and Americans invest in their healthcare, rail, datacenters, and do science cooperation.


But the mullahs want to fight and they are not too gallant like those they want to do terrorist games with.

Joke's on you - This is my analysis, or you can at least disprove that with the original article I copied it from. I'm using my common sense. Use yours too, trust me you can.

This was during the first 48 hours of the conflict. Iran has 100 percent air superiority now. Fake news
