Iran army chief vows ‘decisive’ retaliation over Larijani killing

Iran army chief Amir Hatami

Iran’s army chief Amir Hatami has warned of a “decisive” response following the killing of senior security official Ali Larijani in an Israeli airstrike.

In a statement, Hatami said Iran would deliver a “deterrent and regretful” retaliation against what he described as “criminal America and the bloodthirsty Zionist regime,” adding that the deaths of Larijani and others would be avenged.

Meanwhile, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), a separate military force, claimed it had already fired missiles at central Israel in retaliation for Larijani’s killing, according to AFP.
