Zahedi was a senior leader in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' Quds Force, which also has been designated by the U.S. State Department as a foreign terrorist organization. 

"The IRGC-QF is one of the Iranian regime’s primary organizations responsible for conducting covert lethal activities outside of Iran, including asymmetric and terrorist operations," according to the U.S. National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC). "Iran views terrorism as a tool that it can use to support its efforts to deter and counter its perceived foes, assert leadership over Shia Muslims worldwide, and project power in the Middle East."
