On June 23, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced that it was replacing Hossein Taeb, the head of the IRGC Intelligence Organization for the last 12 years, with General Mohammad Kazemi. Taeb will now serve as an advisor to Major General Hossein Salami, the commander of the IRGC. The reshuffle follows the suspicious deaths of a number of IRGC members in recent weeks.
