A senior member of Iran’s powerful Revolutionary Guard colonel Sayyad Khodai was killed outside his home in Tehran on Sunday by unidentified gunmen on a motorbike.
Colonel Sayyad Khodai's killing is Iran's most high-profile assassination since senior nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh was murdered in 2020.
According to official media, the two assailants shot the victim five times as he entered his residence in an alleyway in the capital's eastern district.
