A member of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps was shot dead outside his home in Tehran, Iran’s state TV reported, citing a statement by the Guard.
Two unidentified assailants on a motorcycle shot Sayyad Khodaei outside his home in the southeast of the capital on Sunday, state-run Islamic Republic News Agency said in a separate report, describing the incident as an assassination.
Photos shared on Twitter by several Iranian state news agencies including Fars news and Press TV showed photos purportedly of Khodaei keeled over and splattered in blood while seated in the driver’s seat of an Iranian-made budget car.
