Iran vows revenge over security chief’s assassination
Iranian army chief Amir Hatami has today threatened to launch what he described would be a ‘decisive and regrettable’ retaliation for the killing of security chief Ali Larijani (pictured) in an Israeli air strike.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said in a separate statement that it had launched missiles at central Israel ‘in revenge for the blood of martyr Dr Ali Larijani and his companions’.
Hamas offered condolences to Iran, writing on Telegram: ‘We renew our solidarity with the Islamic Republic of Iran, which is being subjected to Zionist-American aggression, and affirm that the continuation of this aggression is a crime that targets the entire region and threatens its security and stability.’
Iran’s Supreme National Security Council on Tuesday confirmed the death of its chief Larijani, after Israel said it had killed him in an air strike.
