Masked gunmen on Wednesday ambushed and killed the local commander of a paramilitary security force in southwest Iran, an associate of Iran’s top general recently killed in an American drone strike in Baghdad. The slain commander, Abdolhossein Mojaddami, headed the Basij forces, a paramilitary wing of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps used for internal security and other tasks, in the town of Darkhoein. He was shot in front of his home in the town in the country’s oil-rich Khuzestan province, the official IRNA news agency reported. Mojaddami’s killing is seen as another blow to the IRGC, following the death of top general Qassem Soleimani earlier this month in a US drone strike in Iraq.
