Cairo News Channel reported in a breaking news bulletin, citing an Israeli security source, that eight Basij sites in Tehran were targeted to increase pressure on them.
In another context, according to Hebrew newspapers, Netanyahu's office revealed that the Prime Minister officially approved the execution of targeted assassinations against senior regime leaders. Meanwhile, Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir explained that the current operations directly target key figures in the Revolutionary Guard and regime elements.
Israeli reports indicated that the raids were not limited to individuals but also included an underground compound housing leaders of the Islamic Jihad movement in Iran. Israeli assessments suggest the operation to eliminate Larijani, for whom the United States had offered a $10 million reward, was successful. In contrast, Tehran has maintained official silence so far, amid reports from the Iranian news agency Mehr that a letter from Ali Larijani is expected to be released within minutes in response to these allegations.
