Position: Head of Counterespionage Operations in IRGC’s Intelligence Organization (Division 1500).

Background: In parallel, he functions as a deputy to Javad Ghafari. The two know one-another from the time they served in Syria together and Bazghandi was Ghafari Chief of Bureau.
At the last years of Taeb as the Head of IRGC’s Intelligence Organization, unit 1500 transformed its main purpose and became more focused on terror operations. Without the right knowledge and personal to do so, this was a failure as well.
Bazghandi is also behind the last failed attempts to assassinate and kidnap Israelis in Turkey in the past few months.
