In Iran they confirm: Ali Larijani was eliminated.

Prime Minister:

This morning we eliminated Ali Larijani. Ali Larijani is the boss of the Revolutionary Guards, which is the gang of gangsters that effectively runs Iran. Alongside him, we also eliminated the commander of the Basij - these are the helpers of the gangsters, who spread terror in the streets of Tehran and other cities in Iran against the population. We are also active there; operating from the air with Air Force planes and drones.

We are undermining this regime in the hope of giving the Iranian people a chance to remove it. This will not happen all at once, it will not happen easily. But if we persist - we will give them the opportunity to take their fate into their own hands.

At the same time, we are helping our American friends in the Gulf. I had a long conversation with President Trump yesterday on this matter. There is cooperation between our air forces and navies, between me and President Trump and his people. We will also assist in indirect attacks that create enormous pressure on the Iranian regime, as well as in direct operations. There are many more surprises. We will wage war with tricks. We will not reveal all the tricks here, but I told you: there are many.

Now, regarding another matter: the most important thing to win a war is determination. Determination, determination, determination. Determination of the leaders, determination of the commanders, determination of the people. We are determined to win, and we will achieve these things.

I ask you simply to ignore the channels of despair. We are achieving historic accomplishments. We, with God's help, have reached a situation that after October 7th, when we were on the brink of disaster, we are now a tremendous power, almost global, with the friend who is the global superpower, fighting side by side. This is already a tremendous achievement against all the threats that will come upon us. Which other country has these capabilities? All are attacked here. Who has these powers of ours, of the alliances, of the IDF, of the Air Force, and of a strong people? So stay strong.

I want to tell you: we will also help you. Everything related to compensation - I have instructed to present you with the framework and also to expand the framework. To help the north, and to help everyone who needs it, as we have already done in the past with 'Am Kalbi', as we did earlier during the coronavirus. We will do it even more this time.

Reuters news agency reports from eyewitnesses about "heavy Israeli attacks" in central Beirut.

The American army announced that it attacked missile sites near the Strait of Hormuz.

📺 - Senator Lindsey Graham: "If it wasn't for Israel, we'd be less safe."

Attack on a building in Beirut early in the morning. The building collapsed.

Iran executed a man who was accused and convicted of spying for Israel - according to the Iranian news agency Mizan. According to the report, the man was found "guilty of sharing images and information with Mossad, about sensitive locations in Iran"

Another angle. The residents received a warning before the attack, early in the morning

The IDF completed a wide attack flyover over Tehran last night. As part of the flyover, the Air Force attacked, guided by intelligence, headquarters, sites of the ballistic missile array, and additional infrastructures of the Iranian regime.

Among the headquarters that were attacked: the security unit headquarters of the Revolutionary Guards responsible for dealing with protests and disturbances in Iran, a maintenance center of the supply and general assistance department of the internal security forces, and a headquarters belonging to the ballistic missile array.

Iran's Foreign Minister Araghchi to Al Jazeera: I don't believe Iran's nuclear program will change significantly, but we need to wait for the new Supreme Leader.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on the assassination of Ali Larijani:

I do not know why the Americans and Israelis still haven't understood this point.

The Islamic Republic of Iran has a strong political structure with established political, economic, and social institutions.

The presence or absence of a single person does not affect this structure.

We never had anyone more important than the leader himself. And even when the leader was killed, the system continued to function and immediately provided a replacement.

If someone else is killed, it will be the same.

If the Foreign Minister is ever killed, eventually someone else will take the position.

Iran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi:

We do not believe in a ceasefire - we believe in ending the war.

And ending the war means exactly this: ending the war on all fronts.

Once and for all, the issue of war is resolved, and we witness peace throughout the region: in Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq, Iran, and other countries.

The IDF is briefing military reporters:

• Hezbollah planned to carry out about 100 launches yesterday - but actually succeeded in only about 40

• The terrorist organization spreads the launchers across a long line of locations - making it difficult to locate them.

• According to estimates, Hezbollah still holds thousands of short-range rockets.

• Last night, the IDF attacked dozens of fuel stations in Lebanon that were used by Hezbollah

The French envoy to Lebanon: The only solution to end the conflict in Lebanon is through negotiations; Israel has not succeeded in disarming Hezbollah, so one cannot expect the Lebanese government to do so within three days and under bombings

Defense Minister Katz: Today there will be significant surprises on all fronts that will escalate the war against Iran and Hezbollah.

The Defense Minister confirmed, the Iranian intelligence minister Khatib was eliminated: "He was in charge of the regime's internal murder and repression apparatus in Iran and of advancing external threats"

Senior advisor to the President of the United Arab Emirates, Anwar Gargash, to Bloomberg:

"Iran made a mistake when it attacked the United Arab Emirates and other countries in the Persian Gulf - this brings them closer to Israel and the US.

For countries that have relations with Israel, those relations will strengthen. For countries that do not have relations, I expect additional channels to open."

Reports in Iran about "attack on oil facilities" in the south of the country.
