The IRGC is a terrorist organization and has killed thousands of people, including Americans, since its inception in the 1980s. It's unclear right now who was involved in Khodayari's death, but it should be understood that IRGC is a threat to the US, Israel, and their allies.
Khodayari's assassination was a blatant terrorist attack against Iran and will have severe repercussions. The attacker, which Iran believes is Israel, doesn't have the right to violate Iran's sovereignty and kill members of its military apparatus.
