Deputy Quds Force commander dead of heart attack, says Iran

• IRGC Brig. Gen. Muhammad Hussein-Zada Hejazi was previously named by Israel as the head of Iran’s precision-guided missile project in Lebanon.
• Israel named Hejazi as the most senior official behind supplying missiles for Hezbollah

As reported in I24News

Brig.-Gen. Muhammad Hussein-Zada Hejazi, the deputy chief of Iran’s Quds Force, has died of a "heart condition" aged 65, the country's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced in a statement on Sunday.

The announcement comes at a tense period of what has been described as the "shadow war" between Israel and Iran, with Israel reported to be behind a blackout at an Iranian nuclear plant; meanwhile, Iran is trying to revive the 2015 nuclear deal, which Israel's leadership has repeatedly slammed as inadequate.  

Hejazi was known for working directly under Iran’s General Qassem Soleimani until the latter's death following a US drone strike in January 2020. Thereafter, Hejazi was named the second-in-command of the IRGC's extraterritorial operations unit, or the Quds Force.

Israel named him as the main man behind Iran's project of manufacturing precision-guided missiles for its Lebanese proxy Hezbollah.
