A video shared by Iran’s Tasnim News on Telegram showed what the agency claimed were missiles launched at Tel Aviv in Israel as retaliation for the killing of national security chief Ali Larijani.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guards’ public relations arm said Khorramshahr-4 missiles were among those used in its “intense” attacks against Israel, The Caspian Post reports, citing CNN.
Earlier, a large missile with many submunitions had fallen on the city and that Iran has used Khorramshahr missiles with those capabilities.
Israel said early Wednesday it was intercepting a new salvo of missiles from Iran. CNN witnessed what appeared to be a cluster munition over central Israel, with impact sites reported at various cities including Tel Aviv. Two people were killed in central Israel, according to Israel’s emergency response service.
The attacks come as Iran vowed revenge for the killing of Larijani in an Israeli strike.
Commander-in-chief of Iran’s army, Maj. Gen. Amir Hatami, said Iran’s response to Larijani’s death will be “decisive and regrettable,” adding that “the blood of this exalted martyr and other esteemed martyrs will be avenged,” according to Tasnim.
Maj. Gen. Ali Abdollahi, the commander of Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, said US President Donald Trump “must wait for our surprises” and that the armed forces’ response will be “more devastating than the actions and imagination of the enemy,” Tasnim reported.
