Operator Identified: IRGC Assassination Network Active Across Europe as Tehran's External Operations Arm Loses Its Chief

European intelligence sources have identified Alireza Mohammadi — alias Meghdad Hassani — as the IRGC officer overseeing an active assassination, espionage and sabotage network operating across multiple European countries. The disclosure, timed to the killing of IRGC Intelligence chief Majid Khademi, signals a coordinated Western counter-intelligence campaign against Tehran's external operations during a period of structural disruption at the top of the IRGC.
