The IRGC has officially confirmed that Gen. Majid Khademi, head of their Intelligence Protection Organization, was killed during a U.S. – Israeli strike on the morning of April 6, 2026.
The Intelligence Protection Organization is the IRGC’s internal counterintelligence arm, responsible for surveilling its own personnel for infiltration and loyalty.
Khademi’s demise will degrade the IRGC’s ability to identify threats within its own ranks.

Azerbaijani journalist Afgan Sadigov, who was deported from Georgia on April 5, was detained in Azerbaijan and taken in an unknown direction, his wife said on April 6, following earlier reports that the journalist was free in Baku after interrogation.
“According to the information I just received, my husband, Afghan Sadigov, has been detained by the police, and I do not know exactly where he has been taken. Yesterday, he was deported from Georgia to Azerbaijan on what appears to have been a politically motivated order,” Sadigova wrote on Facebook on April 6.
The journalist was detained late at night on April 4, with authorities saying he had “insulted a police officer on social media.” Tbilisi City Court Judge Tornike Kochkiani delivered the verdict at 4 am on April 5, ordering his deportation from Georgia and a three-year reentry ban. The Interior Ministry attributed the deportation to migration laws that allow for the expulsion of foreign nationals who commit a range of administrative offences, in this case, an alleged “insult of a police officer on social media.”
Sadigov, who had faced arrest and prosecution in Azerbaijan, has lived in Georgia since 2023 and spent over seven months in extradition detention following his arrest by Georgian authorities in August 2024. He was released on bail in April 2025, after the European Court of Human Rights issued an interim ruling barring his extradition to Azerbaijan.
The Interior Ministry argued that Baku’s recent move to terminate the criminal case against Sadigov ended the extradition process, implying that the ECtHR measure barring his extradition was no longer relevant.
Sadigov’s lawyers and ruling party critics have disputed the legality of deportation, fearing the journalist faces “gravest risks” to his life and safety in Azerbaijan.
The deportation came a day before Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev’s official visit to Georgia. Aliyev is reportedly scheduled to meet Georgian Dream founder Bidzina Ivanishvili, among others.
