Jerusalem, 1 March, 2026 (TPS-IL) — According to state-controlled Iranian media reports, Gen. Ahmad Vahidi has been appointed commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps following the assassination of Mohammad Fakhpour.

Interpol issue a red notice for Vahidi’s arrest in 2007 at Argentina’s request for his involvement in the 1994 bombing of the AMIA Jewish community center in Buenos Aires. Eighty-five people were killed and around 300 were injured when a suicide bomber crashed a truck carrying 275 kilos of explosives into the building.
