Yesterday, Israel's defence minister, Israel Katz, said Iranian intelligence minister Esmail Khatib had been killed in an overnight strike, and promised “significant surprises” to come.
Iran's state television confirmed the killing of Mr Khatib, who was sanctioned in 2022 by the United States for alleged cyber-related activities against the US and its allies.
Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian called Mr Khatib’s killing “an unfair assassination” Iran retaliated to his death by unleashing attacks against its Persian Gulf neighbours and Israel, where two people were killed near Tel Aviv.
