Majid Khademi has reportedly been named the new head of the Intelligence Organization of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

The development comes after the death of Mohammad Kazemi in an Israeli strike in Iran, amid the ongoing Middle East tensions.

According to the Tehran Times, the appointment of Brigadier General Majid Khademi was made by Commander-in-Chief of the IRGC, Brigadier General Mohammad Pakpour, according to the report.

Khademi previously served as the head of the IRGC’s Protection and Intelligence Organisation, the report claimed.

On Thursday, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz threatened Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, after Iranian missiles crashed into a major hospital in southern Israel and hit residential buildings near Tel Aviv, wounding at least 240 people.

As rescuers wheeled patients out of the smouldering hospital, Israeli warplanes launched their latest attack on Iran’s nuclear programme.

Katz blamed Khamenei for Thursday’s barrage and said the military “has been instructed and knows that in order to achieve all of its goals, this man absolutely should not continue to exist."

In Washington, the White House announced that US President Donald Trump will decide within two weeks whether to join Israel’s campaign against Iran’s military and nuclear programme, signalling that Trump still sees a window for diplomacy to address Israeli and US concerns about Iran’s nuclear programme.
