Prime Minister Netanyahu announced that Israel had killed the secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, Ali Larijani, describing him as “the boss of the Revolutionary Guards, that group of gangsters that effective runs Iran. Alongside him, we also eliminated the commander of the Basij”. Netanyahu added: “We are undermining this regime in the hope of giving the Iranian people an opportunity to remove it. It will not happen all at once, and it will not happen easily. But if we persist, we will give them the chance to take their destiny into their own hands”. In subsequent remarks, Netanyahu asserted: “Our aircraft are hitting the terror operatives on the grounds, in the crossroads, in the city squares. This is meant to enable the brave people of Iran to celebrate the Festival of Fire. So celebrate and Happy Nowruz. We’re watching from above”.
