BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 1. Iranian President
Masoud Pezeshkian stated that the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader
Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei will never go unanswered, Trend reports.
He said that Iran will make every effort to ensure those
responsible for the incident regret their actions.
Pezeshkian also noted that the Iranian government expresses
condolences over the Supreme Leader’s death and has declared a
40-day mourning period and a 7-day nationwide holiday.
It is recalled that on February 28, Israeli airstrikes on Tehran
killed Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei and members of his family.
Earlier today, Israel carried out a preventive strike against
Iran (Tehran) to eliminate threats to the state. Later, Israel
closed its airspace and switched to a state of emergency
restrictions. A second wave of Israeli airstrikes on Iran then
began. Shortly afterward, Iran also closed its airspace.
It was later reported that the attack on Iran was a joint
operation by Israel and the United States. In turn, Donald Trump
announced the launch of a military operation by the US Armed Forces
against Iran. Information subsequently emerged about the targets of
Israel’s strikes on Iran. Shortly afterward, Iran launched its
first wave of missiles toward Israel. Benjamin Netanyahu also made
a statement amid the start of the operation against Iran. It was
later reported that a second wave of missiles had been launched
from Iran toward Israel.
Some time later, a state of emergency was declared in Israel. It
was subsequently reported that Iran had attacked 14 US military
bases in the region. Closer to the evening, Iran began a wave of
retaliatory strikes using ballistic missiles.
