Ebrahim Zolfaghari
Ebrahim Zolfaghari is the spokesperson for Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, the supreme unified military command responsible for coordinating operations between the IRGC and the regular Iranian army (Artesh).
Ebrahim Zolfaghari serves as the primary public voice for the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, the highest operational command structure within the Iranian military establishment. This headquarters is tasked with the critical role of synchronizing the activities of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and the Army of the Islamic Republic of Iran (Artesh), ensuring a unified front during large-scale military engagements. Zolfaghari's role typically involves communicating the strategic objectives and operational successes of the Iranian armed forces to both domestic and international audiences. In June 2026, Zolfaghari emerged as a key figure in the escalating direct conflict between Iran and Israel. He was responsible for announcing a new wave of Iranian strikes targeting what he described as "important and sensitive" sites within Israel. His rhetoric emphasized that these operations were a fulfillment of prior regime promises and a demonstration of Iran's peak military readiness. By positioning himself as the mouthpiece of the unified command, Zolfaghari reinforces the regime's narrative of military cohesion and its willingness to engage in direct kinetic warfare, moving beyond its traditional reliance on regional proxies. His statements often include explicit warnings against further Israeli retaliation, serving as a primary conduit for the regime's psychological warfare and deterrent messaging during periods of high tension.
