BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 6. The war against Iran
will continue in full force, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu wrote on his X account, Trend reports.
Netanyahu praised the army for eliminating Majid Khademi, head
of the intelligence service of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard
Corps (IRGC), in one of the airstrikes carried out on Tehran this
morning.
He also commended the Israel Defense Forces for neutralizing
Yazdan Mir, who led the 840th unit of the Islamic Revolutionary
Guard Corps (IRGC)—the “Quds” unit. According to him, the Iranian
commander, known by the alias Sardar Bagheri, was responsible for
attacks on Jews living in various parts of the world.
On February 28, the United States and Israel launched military
operations against Iran, striking major cities, including Tehran.
The White House cited missile and nuclear threats originating from
the Islamic Republic as justification for the attacks. The strikes
reportedly killed Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei,
along with several other senior officials. In response, Iran’s
Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced a large-scale
retaliatory operation against Israel and has targeted U.S.
facilities across Bahrain, Jordan, Iraq, Qatar, Kuwait, the UAE,
Oman, Saudi Arabia, and Syria using ballistic missiles, cruise
missiles, and drones.
The conflict has placed the region’s energy infrastructure and
maritime shipping under serious threat. Due to security tensions in
the Strait of Hormuz, global oil prices have risen significantly.
Iran fully controls the Strait of Hormuz and allows passage only to
vessels it deems necessary.
