NEW DELHI: The Israeli Air Force said it is carrying out an extensive wave of strikes against targets in Tehran. It further said that it has carried out a series of strikes on the Basij and internal security command centres in Tehran
The Israeli Air Force said, the targeted command centres were used by the Iranian regime to maintain control throughout Iran. It said it had also struck the regime’s missile launchers and other systems. Meanwhile in Tehran the Iranian regime will hold a three-day farewell ceremony for the late supreme leader Ayatollah Khamenei.
Hojjatoleslam Mahmoudi, head of Iran’s Islamic Propagation Council, told State Media that the farewell ceremony would continue for three days and the funeral procession will be announced later. The announcement came even as Israel’s Defence Minister Israel Katz warned that any leader appointed by the Iranian regime to replace Ali Khamenei will be a target for elimination.
“Any leader appointed by theIranian terror regime to continue leading the plan to destroy Israel, threaten the US and the free world and the countries of the region, and oppress the Iranian people, will be an unequivocal target for elimination. “It does not matter what his name is or where he hides,” Katz said in a statement.
“We will continue to act with full force, together with our American partners, to dismantle the regime’s capabilities and create the conditions for the Iranian people to overthrow and replace it,” Katz added. Israeli Media had earlier reported that Khamenei’s son Mojtaba has been chosen as the successor and will take over as Supreme leader. Tags
