The IDF confirmed on Thursday that earlier this week, the Israeli Air Force, acting on precise IDF intelligence, struck in Tehran and eliminated Jamshid Eshaqi, the commander of the Oil Headquarters for the Iranian terror regime’s forces.
The Oil Headquarters forms an integral part of the regime’s armed forces, enabling the continuation of their activities and military buildup through profits from oil sales.
For years, Eshaqi led the financial arm of the regime’s forces as well as the military industries responsible for the production of ballistic missiles and the regime’s mechanisms of repression.
In addition, Eshaqi worked to allocate funds for financing Iran’s terror proxies across the Middle East, most notably the Hezbollah terror organization and the Houthis.
For years, the IRGC and additional military bodies in Iran have been financed through vast budgets sourced from oil sales, while circumventing international sanctions.
The armed forces established dedicated headquarters to manage oil sales, which constitute a central pillar in financing the Iranian regime’s military build-up and the execution of terrorist activity around the world.
