Israel Kills Key Iranian Drone Commander

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have successfully killed Amin For Jodhi, the commander of the second division of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Air Force, the IDF Spokesperson's Office announced on June 21, 2025. The strike, carried out by fighter jets near the city of Ahvaz in southwestern Iran, was the latest step in Israel's campaign to weaken Iran's military capabilities. The killing of a senior officer responsible for hundreds of drone attacks on Israeli territory underscores Tel Aviv's determination to confront threats from Tehran.

According to the IDF, Amin For Jodhi played a key role in organizing the launches of attack drones targeting Israel. From the Ahvaz region, an important center of Iran's military infrastructure, he oversaw attacks using Shahed drones that repeatedly threatened civilian and military targets. According to The Jerusalem Post, Jodhi became a central figure in the IRGC structure after the assassination of his predecessor, Tahar For, on June 13, 2025. His elimination, according to Israeli intelligence, seriously disrupts the coordination of Iranian drone operations.

The operation in Ahvaz was carried out using precision airstrikes, which avoided significant damage to civilian infrastructure. According to Reuters, Israeli fighter jets likely used laser-guided missiles, indicating precise intelligence work. Iranian media, including Fars, confirmed the attack but said it had not affected the country's military capabilities. However, independent sources such as Radio Farda reported panic among locals and increased security in Khuzestan Province, where Ahvaz is located.
