As tensions between Israel, the USA, and Iran sharply escalated, Iranian armed forces carried out unprecedented strikes on one of Israel’s largest cities — Tel Aviv — as part of the 61st wave of the “True Promise-4” operation. This was officially reported by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran.
According to the corps, more than 100 targets were destroyed. So far, Israel has not issued an official response to these attacks.
It should be noted that these strikes were carried out in response to the killing of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Secretary Ali Larijani.
Death of Larijani
On March 17, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced that Ali Larijani had been killed in a night airstrike. Later, this information was confirmed by Tehran.
Along with Larijani, his son, deputy, and personal guards were also killed. In addition, the strike claimed the life of the Basij commander, Major General Gholamreza Soleimani.
Since the start of US and Israeli military operations against Iran, many senior Iranian officials have been killed. Among them is Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
His son Mojtaba Khamenei has been appointed as the new Supreme Leader, but he has not appeared in public since his appointment. Tehran confirmed that he was injured.
