On Thursday, Iranian media reported that authorities had fired Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps intelligence chief Hossein Taeb.
Iranian state television did not provide further details about the decision to expel Tayeb from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Reuters reported. Television only reported that Taeb had been appointed as an adviser to Revolutionary Guard chief Hossein Salami, but many see the case as a cover for a dismissal decision.
The announcement came after a leak from platforms close to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps that Taeb had been removed from his post. And the leaks were not only about the dismissal of Hussein Taeb, in recent days it was reported that an attempt was made on his life.
This dismissal comes after a series of recent assassinations of Revolutionary Guard officials and nuclear scientists, and some believe the dismissal was due to the Guards’ inability to counter these assassinations attributed to Israel. A week ago, Taeb’s name was mentioned in Israeli media reports saying he was responsible for planning an attack on Israelis in Turkey, which has so far failed. repeated failures inside and out. Hossein Taeb, 59, took charge of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps intelligence in 2009 and worked closely with Iranian regime supreme leader Ali Khamenei.
