A Major Strike: Israel Announces Killing of Quds Commander in Iran's Qom
Israel announces the death of a Quds Force commander in Iranian territory.
Knock-knock, Said Izadi, the big cheese of the Palestinian Corps in the Quds Force of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps, just met his maker—courtesy of an Israeli strike near Tehran. The Apartment of Doom is where it all went down, folks!
Adios, Izadi! Israeli Defense Minister, Israel Katz, gleefully declared this targeted assassination as a "major victory" for Israel's intelligence and air force. According to Katz, Izadi was nothing less than the puppet master behind Hamas's devastating October 7, 2023, attacks in Israel.
Israel's sneaky air force crept into Iran's city of Qom and struck Izadi's crib like it was nothing. Long arm of Israel, am I right? Katz rubbed his hands together and said, "The long arm of Israel will reach all its enemies."
The Palace of Terror, oops, I mean Qom, is no stranger to conflict. It's close enough to the uranium enrichment facility in Fordo to be considered Israel's ultimate Middle East target.
Iran's state-owned media already whispered about an Israeli attack on Qom, reporting a 16-year-old fallen soldier and two injured civilians. Splattered across the news headlines like a scene out of an action movie, a residential building was hit in the attack.
Now, consider this: If Israel can take down a commander of the Quds Brigades of the Revolutionary Guard, what else do they have up their sleeves? Will Iran respond? Get ready for a thrilling saga with Slimy Saeed and Hammy Hamas, folks!

A Few Quick Facts:
- The Palestine Corps was led by Mohammad Saeed Izadi, who was taken out by Israeli forces in Qom.
- Izadi was accused of arming and financing Hamas for the October 7, 2023 attacks on Israel.
- The strike on Izadi's pad in Qom intensified the Israel-Iran conflict, which had been heating up since June 2025.
The Implications:
- Israel's bold strike reveals its readiness to hit deep within Iran, possibly escalating tensions even further.
- Iran might retaliate against Israeli interests in the region, putting everyone in the hot seat.
- Losing a key player like Izadi may temporarily disrupt funding and coordination for anti-Israel forces.
- Harden Iran's resolve? They just might, as they consider this a serious provocation and crank up their support for groups like Hamas and Hezbollah.
- The ongoing shadow conflict between Iran and Israel is only getting darker, with this strike adding fuel to the fire and destabilizing the Middle East further.
Community policy should address the potential escalation of tensions between Israel and Iran following the assassination of Mohammad Saeed Izadi, a key figure in the Palestine Corps. Employment policy within Israeli intelligence and military agencies may need to adapt to accommodate an increased workload due to their increased activity in war-and-conflicts, such as the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict. Amidst the general-news of political turmoil, crime-and-justice, and car-accidents, the assassination in Qom highlights the volatile and dangerous environment in the Middle East.
