In a shocking revelation, an organization affiliated with the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran has acknowledged that Iranian General Mohammad Reza Zahedi, who was reportedly killed in an Israeli airstrike on April 1, played a crucial role in a mass murder incident that took place on October 7. The disclosure, translated by the U.S.-based Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), has raised concerns worldwide.

According to the announcement from Iran's Coalition Council of Islamic Revolution Forces on April 3, Zahedi, an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) commander, was hailed for his strategic contributions in consolidating and strengthening the resistance front. The statement mentioned his involvement in planning and executing the tragic event known as the "Al-Aqsa Flood," which resulted in the deaths of 1,200 people, including over 30 Americans.

The significance of Zahedi's role in perpetuating violence against Israel and his affiliation with the IRGC's elite Quds Force in Syria and Lebanon was highlighted. The Coalition Council of Islamic Revolution Forces proclaimed that Zahedi's efforts in resisting the occupation by the "Zionist regime" would go down in history.

When questioned about these revelations and Zahedi's role in the October 7 massacre, a U.S. State Department spokesperson expressed alarm. While unable to comment on Zahedi's precise involvement in the attack, the spokesperson emphasized that the IRGC and influential figures like Zahedi had long been engaged in supporting threats to Israel and U.S. interests. The State Department echoed Israel's call for other countries to designate the IRGC as a terrorist organization, emphasizing its role in sponsoring global terrorism.

MEMRI's analysis of this confirmation emphasized that it was an official admission by a senior Iranian regime figure, contradicting Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei's previous denial of Iran's involvement in the October 7 terrorist attack. The report from MEMRI coincided with a recent article in the London Times, stating that Israel had obtained letters showing Iran's financial support for Hamas, a proxy group. The letters indicated that Iran had funneled $222 million to Hamas between 2020 and 2021.

In response to Zahedi's death, Iran's announcement mourned his loss but also issued a warning of a possible impending attack against Israel. The announcement hinted at a potential wider conflict in the Middle East, as tensions continue to rise.

It is important to note that the U.S. State Department has consistently classified Iran's regime as the foremost state-sponsor of terrorism, regardless of political affiliations. Despite numerous press queries, both Iran's Foreign Ministry and its UN Mission have refrained from providing any response.

The acknowledgment of Zahedi's involvement in the October 7 massacre has ignited a global concern about the role of Iran and its state-funded terror organization, the IRGC. As the U.S. and Israel remain on high alert, the international community is grappling with the need for coordinated actions to address the threats posed by Iran's support for terrorism.
