Iran's president has promised to take revenge after a colonel in the powerful Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) was shot dead in Tehran on Sunday.
Two gunmen on a motorbike opened fire at Sayad Khodai as he sat in a car outside his home, SIA refers to the state media report.
Col Khodai was a member of the elite Quds Force, the IRGC's shadowy overseas operations arm, they said.
President Ebrahim Raisi blamed "the hands of global arrogance" - a reference to the US and its allies.
"I call on security officials to seriously investigate the crime and I have no doubt that revenge on criminals for the pure blood of this honourable martyr is inevitable," he said.
IRGC spokesman Ramazan Sharif said the killing of Col Khodai would strengthen its determination to "defend security, independence and national interests and to confront the enemies of the Iranian nation"
