Iran will hold a funeral for its security chief Ali Larijani as it vowed revenge, firing off a wave of missiles at Israel—the state which previously killed the powerful Islamic Republic goon in an air strike.
A barrage of Iranian missiles killed two people near Israel’s commercial hub Tel Aviv. Arabian Gulf nations were forced to intercept rockets and drones headed for various targets, including U.S. bases in the region.
According to Iran’s Fars and Tasnim news agencies, funerals for Larijani and another powerful figure killed by Israel, Gholamreza Soleimani—the head of the Basij terrorist force—will take place in Tehran.
Larijani is the Islamic Republic’s most prominent figure killed since Israel and the United States launched their attacks on Iran on February 28th, killing supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The slain ayatollah’s funeral was due to be held days after he was killed, but that was later postponed indefinitely.
Iranian army chief Amir Hatami promised that
Iran’s response to the assassination of the secretary of the Supreme National Security Council will be decisive and regrettable.
