Tension in West Asia is once again at its peak. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) on Tuesday claimed to have killed two top Iranian officials, Ali Larijani and Basij Force commander Gholamreza Soleimani. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described this as a major blow to Iran’s power and said that much more remains to be done.
Benjamin Netanyahu said that this morning we eliminated Ali Larijani and Ghulamreza Suleimani. He described Larijani as the boss of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard. He described Basij commander Suleimani as an accomplice of goons who were responsible for repressive operations against protesters.
The aim of the attacks is to weaken Iranian power: Netanyahu
The Israeli PM also said that Israel is carrying out airstrikes deep inside Iran. He said that the purpose of these attacks is to weaken the government there and create conditions for internal change. He said both Larijani and Basij commanders have been involved in suppressing protests in Iran.
Did the job of killing Larijani for free: Israeli Foreign Minister
Netanyahu also mentioned his talks with US President Donald Trump and said that military cooperation between the two countries continues. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar also supported this action, saying that it would improve the security of Iranian citizens. Referring to Larijani, he said that there was a reward of 10 million dollars on him in America, but we did this work for free.
Crisis deepens in West Asia
At the same time, Israel has warned that there are indications of preparations for a large-scale rocket attack by Hezbollah, due to which its air defense system is on high alert. This development has taken place amid the conflict, which began after the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in a joint US-Israeli attack on February 28. After this, Iran retaliated by targeting American bases in many Gulf countries along with Israel.
