Israel Confirms It Killed Iran’s IRGC Spokesman; Pentagon Deploying 2nd Marine Unit to the Middle East

Israel confirms that it killed the spokesman for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Ali Mohammad Naini. He's the fourth high-profile Iranian official killed this week. The IDF says he held multiple roles in propaganda and media operations. The military says over the past two years, he served as the IRGC’s main propagandist and spread the regime’s messaging across the Middle East. Adding that, his work targeted proxy groups to influence and advance terror attacks against Israel.

An additional force of U.S. warships and an attached Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) is set to deploy to the Middle East amid ongoing combat operations against Iran, The Epoch Times has learned. The USS Boxer amphibious ready group (ARG) and the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), currently based out of San Diego, California, are set to sail across the Indo-Pacific region to reach the waters of the Middle East, according to a U.S. military source familiar with the matter.
