Gunmen opened fire on the home of IRGC members in Paveh, Kermanshah province, western Iran, according to the local IRGC command. Two Guardsmen — Barhan Krisani and Khaled Khaledinia — were killed and two others wounded. The attack comes on the same day that earlier reports of IRGC casualties in the region first emerged, and hours after Tehran blamed Israel's Mossad for an overnight incident also in Kermanshah.
The thread began Tue 08:14 Jerusalem with initial reports of two IRGC members killed by an unidentified assassin in western Iran. By the same time stamp, Iranian state media identified the location as Paveh and labeled it a "terror attack". Subsequent items, all also published at Tue 08:14, noted Kurdish forces were involved, that Tehran accused the Mossad, and that the names of the killed operatives were released. This latest development adds specific details of an armed assault on a home, naming the victims and confirming two wounded — a shift from earlier descriptions of a single "mystery assassin" to a gunmen attack.
The wider context includes a background of multiple incidents targeting IRGC personnel in western Iran. As The Zioneer reported on Tue 11:57 Jerusalem, an earlier bulletin detailed the mysterious elimination of two IRGC members in the same province, with Tehran pointing to Israeli intelligence involvement. A separate report from Tue 11:09 Jerusalem covered a gunmen attack on a family car in Saravan, southeastern Iran, where blame was also placed on "American-Zionist terrorists," though no independent confirmation emerged.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack in Paveh. The perpetrators and their motive remain unknown; the IRGC statement did not identify the assailants or specify whether they were arrested. The precise relationship between this incident and the overnight reports — whether they are distinct events or different accounts of the same — is also unconfirmed.
