The operative, named Ali Mohammadi, was part of the Ansar al-Reza Corps which is based in the South Khorasan Province, according to the governor of South Khorasan.
The cause of the operative's death was not published.
Latest IRGC death in string of incidents
The death is the latest in a series of deaths among IRGC officials and civilians who work with the terrorist organization in recent months.
In June, Iranian officials announced that two personnel from the IRGC's Aerospace Force had been killed while "carrying out their mission" in Iran.
The Saudi-backed Iranian news television station Iran International claimed at the time that the two were involved in developing weapons for Hezbollah in Lebanon and that their deaths were not caused by an accident.
In May, an engineer at the Parchin military complex was killed in an incident that was initially reported by Iranian media as an "accident," but which was later reported as "industrial sabotage." The New York Times reported that the engineer was killed in a drone strike that targeted the site.
