Two IRGC Members Killed Defusing Bombs Western Iran

Two members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) were killed while attempting to defuse explosives in Khorramabad, western Iran, from remnants of Israeli airstrikes that occurred during a 12-day conflict in June. The Israeli strikes, aimed at hindering Iran’s alleged nuclear weapon development, killed key Iranian military commanders and over 900 people according to Iran’s judiciary, while Iranian missile retaliations caused casualties in Israel. The conflict included significant events such as U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites and a subsequent ceasefire mediated by U.S. President Donald Trump, which took effect on June 24. Iran has since reopened its airspace and its Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei made his first public appearance since the war. Both Iranian and Israeli sides suffered losses, and the situation remains tense with ongoing regional implications. The incident highlights the continued volatility and risks faced by personnel involved in clearing explosive remnants from the conflict zone.
