Israeli Prime Minister Announces Key Eliminations

Tel Aviv: On Tuesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that Iranian national security chief Ali Larijani was killed in an airstrike conducted by Israeli forces. In a televised address, Netanyahu stated, "This morning we eliminated Ali Larijani, the head of the Revolutionary Guards, which is essentially a group of gangsters controlling Iran." He also mentioned the elimination of Gholamreza Soleimani, the commander of the Basij forces. Netanyahu emphasized, "Alongside him, we also eliminated the commander of the Basij—the henchmen of the gangsters, who spread terror in the streets of Tehran and other Iranian cities against the population."

Netanyahu called on the Iranian populace to rise against their current government, stating, "We are undermining this regime in hopes of providing the Iranian people with a chance to overthrow it. This will not happen overnight or easily, but with persistence, we can empower them to take control of their destiny." More updates are expected soon.
