Amir Moghadam, a former Iranian government official, said that Hejazi was a senior commander to the Houthi militia in Yemen, frequently traveled to Yemen and Venezuela, and was a key figure to Iran’s ballistic missile program and regional operations.

“He specifically led projects that targeted Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates,” Moghadam wrote on Twitter.

Between 2013-2018 Moghadam was the head of public relations and parliamentary affairs envoy in the office of the vice president of Iran for executive affairs.

There is a “direct link” between Hejazi’s death and recent events, such as the targeting of the Iranian ship named Saviz in the Red Sea, and an explosion at Iran’s key Natanz nuclear facility, he added

Amir Moghadam is not a reliable source, you can take a look at his twitter profile and see for yourself there is something up with this guy. It turns out he was the key source between Reuters' report on the production of aluminum powder.

This is the tweet in question:
حجازی فرمانده ارشد سپاه و حوثیها در یمن هم بود،به یمن و ونزوئلا تردد داشت،عنصر مهمی در موشکی و فعالیتهای تروریستی بود و بصورت ویژه پروژه‌های علیه امارات و عربستان را هدایت میکرد بین زدن کشتی ساویز،نطنز و مرگ حجازی ارتباط مستقیم وجود دارد،همچنین تحولات اینده یمن و مذاکرات وین و..

General Hejazi had long been a target of Israeli espionage, and the son of another prominent Quds Force commander insisted on Twitter that Mr. Hejazi’s death was “not cardiac-related.”

A Revolutionary Guards spokesman failed to clear the air with a statement saying the general had died of the combined effects of “extremely difficult assignments,” a recent Covid-19 infection and exposure to chemical weapons during the Iran-Iraq war.

Also meetings with the Emiratis, Jordanians and Egyptians:

The details: While the Financial Times on Apr. 18 broke the story that Iranian and Saudi officials had met in Iraq earlier this month, with the first round of dialogue reportedly taking place on Apr. 9, Amwaj.media understands that at least five prior meetings between Iranian and Arab officials were held over January and February.

• The parallel engagement is said to have initially brought together Iranian and Emirati officials in January.
  
  
• After the conclusion of talks between Iran and the UAE in Iraq, Iranian and Saudi security officials met for the first time.
  
  
• Iraqi sources have revealed to Amwaj.media that the third meeting brought together an Iranian delegation with counterparts from Jordan in addition to Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
  
  
• In the fourth meeting, representatives from Egypt joined as well.
  
  
• The fifth meeting, the source stated, was in essence “indirect US-Iranian talks,” without further elaboration.
  
  
• Of note, all meetings over January-February were chiefly between security officials.

Amwaj.media has further learned that the Apr. 9 meeting in Baghdad between Saudi and Iranian officials was attended from the Iranian side by officials from multiple state bodies.

Beyond members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ (IRGC) Quds Force, other Iranians in attendance included officials from the foreign and intelligence ministries as well as Iran’s Supreme National Security Council. The composition of the Iranian delegation had so far been unknown, with no confirmation whether Qa’ani had been in attendance.

The main subject of the Apr. 9 talks was the situation in Yemen, though another source familiar with the meetings told Amwaj.media that the talks also touched on Lebanon and Syria on some points.

I doubt the son of Quds Force Commander would spread lies on Twitter. Likely he broke confidentiality of intelligence his father let something slip to the son. He is lucky he isn’t in jail.

Iran Presents Daily Threat as U.S. Dominance Wanes, General Says

Iran poses a daily threat to the U.S. and its allies in the Middle East as America’s military superiority in the region wanes, the top U.S. commander in the region told Congress on Tuesday, as indirect nuclear talks between the two nations continue in Vienna.

Iranian-aided Houthi forces in Yemen have launched more than 150 ballistic missile, land attack cruise missile and drone attacks against military, infrastructure and civilian targets in Saudi Arabia since January, the head of U.S. Central Command, General Frank McKenzie, said in written testimony to the House Armed Services Committee.

[...]

McKenzie warned that Iran’s widespread use of small- and medium-sized drones for surveillance and attack means means that “for the first time since the Korean War, we are operating without complete air superiority,” McKenzie said.

“Until we are able to develop and field a networked capability to detect and defeat UAS, the advantage will remain with the attacker,” he said, using an acronym for unmanned aerial systems.

Like I said, while there is a healthy rivalry between Turks and Persians. We help each other at crucial times.

Quds Force didn't even exist before Hemmat's death. Apparently NYT doesn't care about careful fact checking these days.

This is the tweet:

So what? Did he recieve a phone call from Hejazi in the last minutes of his life because his father was his friend? Or the conclusions of the autopsy?

If he was killed in combat or died mysteriously than his father would have known. And he could have died a week ago for all we know or a month ago. They merely announced his death yesterday.

Given recent events: 2 IRGC general assassinations and an attempt on IRGC Quds Commander of Yemen, missile production facility explosion, two natanz explosions, etc. it is not out of the realm of possibility his death was mysterious and was likely hidden due to recent events and to cover up the string of embarrassments from lack of security.

Now if this happened any other year besides this year or last then most people wouldn’t think twice about it. But the timing is suspicious.
