Iran on cyber commander’s death: “not an assassination"
-Ainav Weisberg
Less than a day after reports of Iran’s cyber warfare commander’s death began streaming in, official sources in the Revolutionary Guards respond for the first time today (Thursday) claiming that it was a “terrible incident” and refuting claims of an assassination.
Last night the British Telegraph reported that Mujtaba Ahmedi, the senior officer in Iran’s cyber warfare unit, was found dead in a forest area north of Teheran. According to the report he was shot twice in the chest by an unknown. “I saw to bullet wounds in his chest, it appears that he was shot with a gun at close range” an eyewitness was quoted.
