3 IRGC members killed in twin attacks as Iran intensifies Kurdish crackdown

At least three members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps were killed in separate armed attacks across Iran, including one in western Iran near the border with Iraqi Kurdistan, where authorities have intensified their crackdown on Kurdish groups.

Two members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) were shot dead near the border with Iraq’s Kurdistan region in the northwest, while another IRGC member and his wife were killed in a separate attack in southeastern Iran, state media and rights groups reported Tuesday. Iranian security and military forces have stepped up their crackdown on Kurdish groups that authorities accuse of being backed by the United States and Israel.

What happened: The IRGC’s public relations office in Iran’s western Kermanshah province said in a statement on Tuesday that armed men on motorcycles approached the residence of a local IRGC member in the border town of Paveh on Monday evening and fired shots at the front door.

Gunfire erupted, killing two IRGC members, identified as Borhan Karisani and Khaled Khaledi.

Two other IRGC members were injured. Hengaw — a Norway-based human rights organization that reports on news related to Iranian Kurdish activists — identified them as Kamel Hajiji and Kamal Abdi. Hajiji is in a coma.

Senior IRGC Navy officer dies in car crash as insurgencies escalate across western Iran

The political deputy of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy was killed in a car accident on Monday, according to reports by both pro- and anti-government sources.

According to the reports, which appeared in IRGC-run Fars News Agency and the anti-regime London-based outlet Iran International, he was killed after his car overturned in the Kerman Province of southeastern Iran.

Police forces and emergency teams arrived at the scene of the accident, and Akbarzadeh was evacuated to a medical center, where he succumbed to his severe injuries, according to Fars.

The reports stated that authorities have launched an investigation into the circumstances and causes of the accident.

It was also noted that earlier this month, Akbarzadeh was among those sanctioned by the European Union for supporting measures that restrict freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz - measures that led to the recent post-ceasefire tit-for-tat strikes between the US and Iran.

Iraq’s Anti-Corruption Purge and America’s Strengthened Position in Iraqi Oil

Iraq’s sweeping anti-corruption purge is disrupting Iranian oil-smuggling networks and creating new opportunities for U.S. energy companies, though entrenched Iran-backed political factions continue to threaten long-term reform.

The return of ExxonMobil, Chevron, and BP to Iraq, backed by Trump administration diplomatic engagement, sanctions enforcement, and support for improved commercial terms, marks another step in Washington’s effort to strengthen American influence in the global oil system.

Paired with mounting pressure on Iran’s oil exports, renewed sanctions against Iranian smuggling networks, closer energy cooperation with Gulf partners, and efforts to strengthen U.S. control over key maritime trade routes, these developments point to a broader reversal after years of expanding Chinese, Russian, and Iranian influence.

Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi took office on May 16, 2026, after months of political deadlock following the November 2025 elections, and has since launched the most sweeping anti-corruption campaign in the country’s modern history, with the oil sector at its center.

The investigation began with the arrest of Oil Ministry Undersecretary for Refining Affairs Adnan al-Jumaili on May 30. After the arrest, authorities seized roughly $86 million in cash, 70 properties, 21 vehicles, and about three kilograms of gold jewelry tied to the case. They also recovered a cache of assault rifles and ammunition.

Al-Jumaili’s alleged network spanned refineries in Beiji, Doura, Maysan, and Shuaiba, with investigators pursuing billions in kickbacks tied to refinery contracts. His confessions led to the arrest of former Salaheddin governor Raed al-Jubouri.

The campaign escalated sharply on June 28, when security forces detained 47 high-profile individuals, including sitting Members of Parliament, party operators, executives, and businessmen, in a pre-dawn operation codenamed “Phase One.”
