The Iranian Revolutionary Guard of Commander Hossein Salami was killed in the big strokes that Israel started in Tehran soon on Friday.
The Iranian news agency for the Islamic Republic (IRNA) said that the Chief Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) General General Hossein Salami was “murdered by an Israeli strike in Tehran”.
During the attacks, the head commander IRGC GHOLAMALI RASHID and at least two nuclear officials – Fereydoun Abbasi and Mohammad Mehdi Tehranchi – were also killed during the attacks.
Israel launched a large strike in Tehran and attacked at least six military bases throughout the city.
“What seems to be focused on assassinations,” Israel attacked, including parchin and residential homes in two highly safe complexes for military commanders and more residential buildings in Tehran, New York Times said four higher Iranian officials.
The head of the Israeli official told Iran International that the houses of leaders and not civilians were focused on air strikes in Tehran.
“Houses of higher military and political officials were focused on Israeli air strikes in Tehran,” the Israeli official said. “Civilians are not intended goals,” the official added.
Israel, who called the “rising lion” offensive, said he also focused on Iranian commanders and missile factories and declared a state of emergency in anticipation of retaliation and drones from Tehran.
“Israel has focused on Iranian nuclear bomb scientists, its ballistic missile program and its Uranus enrichment facility, in an operation that would continue for days,” said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The US attack comes when tensions reached new heights over Teheránský’s rapidly descending nuclear program.
The Governor Council at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) for the first time in 20 years on Thursday, Iran censored that it does not work with its inspectors. Iran immediately announced that it will set up a third place in the country and exchange some centrifugs for more exclusive.
For years, Israel has warned that Iran will not allow to build a nuclear weapon, something Tehran insists that he does not want it – although officials have repeatedly warned that they can build them.
The US was preparing for something that happened, has already pulled out some diplomats from the capital of Iraq and offer voluntary evacuation to the families of American soldiers in the wider Middle East.
