Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday, March 17th that the killing of Tehran’s national security chief Ali Larijani was part of efforts to give Iranians a chance to remove their ruling regime. He said in a televised statement:
This morning we eliminated Ali Larijani, the boss of the Revolutionary Guards, which is the gang of gangsters that actually runs Iran.
Netanyahu said the overthrow of the clerical authorities by Iranians “will not happen all at once, it will not happen easily. But if we persist in this—we will give them a chance to take their fate into their own hands.”
