The Iranian news agency quoted a source - who described it as an insider - that a member of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard was killed in an accident inside his home, explaining that investigations are still underway to find out the circumstances of the incident, without giving further details.
The source denied the reports of the assassination of Revolutionary Guards Colonel Ali Ismailzadeh, and said that these news came in the context of psychological and fabricated warfare, issued by hostile media, as he put it.
The agency said that "hostile media claimed, a few hours ago, that there had been an assassination incident of one of the leaders of the Quds Force of the Revolutionary Guards, Colonel Ali Ismailzadeh, several days ago in the city of Karaj, the center of Alborz province, west of the capital, Tehran."
Over the past 12 years, Iran has lost a number of senior scholars, military and politicians in assassination operations, and Tehran accuses Israel of being behind these operations.
The last of them was the Colonel of the Revolutionary Guards, Sayyad Khodaye, who was killed on May 22 by two people who were on a motorcycle in Tehran, as he was returning to his home.
