Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has claimed responsibility for missile strikes targeting the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the headquarters of the Israeli air force commander.
In a statement carried by Fars News Agency on Monday, the Guards said the attacks were aimed at “the office of the criminal prime minister of the Zionist regime and the headquarters of the regime’s air force commander.”
The statement added that Kheibar missiles were deployed in the operation.
Meanwhile, Iran’s President, Masoud Pezeshkian, appointed Revolutionary Guards General Majid Ebnelreza as acting defence minister following the death of his predecessor in Israeli-US strikes.
Announcing the appointment on X, Deputy for Presidential Communications Mehdi Tabatabaei said the decision was made by presidential order, confirming that Majid Ebnelreza will immediately assume the role.
