Iranwire – Israeli forces launched a renewed attack on the northwestern city of Tabriz, Iranian media reported Friday.
The city is currently under “severe attack” by Israel, according to reports.
The strike on Tabriz is an expansion of Israeli operations beyond the initial targets in Tehran and other locations hit earlier Friday.
Israel launched a large-scale operation targeting Iranian nuclear facilities and military sites across the country.
The attacks have killed top Iranian military commanders including Revolutionary Guards chief Hossein Salami and Armed Forces Chief Mohammad Bagheri.
Iran has launched over 100 drones toward Israel in retaliation.
“The miscalculation and crime of the sworn enemies of Iran and Iranians will not go unanswered and they must expect severe and regretful revenge,” the IRGC said in a statement.
The IRGC confirmed Salami and several bodyguards and colleagues were killed in the “criminal and terrorist” attack on the Guards headquarters “while carrying out national security duties.”
The statement described Salami as “one of the most prominent commanders of the Islamic Revolution” and said he was killed while “defending the ideals of the revolution and nation.”
The IRGC also blamed the United States for the attack, saying “the criminal Zionist regime will pay a heavy price for this crime committed with the knowledge of the vile rulers of the White House and the terrorist American regime.”
