It further emphasized that the attack on Iran was carried out because of its positions in support of Palestine.

The movement called on the Islamic nation to stand by Iran against what has been called the "Zionist attack."

It was also emphasized that these attacks are carried out within the framework of a plan for complete domination of the region and must be countered.

Iranian Foreign Minister: I don't know why Americans and Israelis still haven't understood that the Islamic Republic of Iran has a strong political structure that has established political, economic and social institutions.

The presence or absence of an individual has no effect on this structure. Of course, individuals have an impact and everyone plays their role; some better, some weaker and some less. But what is important is that the political system in Iran is a very solid structure.

Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian has offered his condolences to the nation on the martyrdom of Minister of Intelligence Esmaeel Khatib, who was assassinated in a US-Israeli targeted attack on Tuesday.

“The cowardly assassination of my dear colleagues Esmaeel Khatib, Ali Larijani, and Aziz Nasirzadeh, along with some of their family members and team members, has left us in mourning,” Pezeshkian wrote in a message on X on Wednesday.

He offered his condolences to “the great people of Iran on the martyrdom of two cabinet members, the Secretary of the Supreme Council, and military and Basij commanders,” who were assassinated in coordinated targeted strikes by US-Israeli forces on Tuesday.

Pezeshkian said in a separate message on Tuesday that the martyrdom of Larijani “is bitter and unexpected, but the steadfastness of the Iranian nation and “their achievement of ultimate victory” will make the Zionist criminals regret imposing a war on Iran.

“I am certain their path will continue stronger than ever,” Pezeshkian said.

Hundreds of thousands of Iranians paid their respects to Dr. Larijani, and General Soleimani during a mass funeral procession in Tehran on Wednesday.

The procession witnessed one of the largest public gatherings in recent weeks, with crowds filling the streets of Tehran from early morning.

Iranian authorities have denounced all the assassinations as cowardly acts, vowing to avenge them in the most decisive manner. In retaliation, the IRGC launched massive overnight airstrikes targeting over 100 locations in Tel Aviv.

The United States and Israel launched a large-scale, unprovoked war against Iran on February 28, assassinating Leader of Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and a number of senior commanders.

Defense Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh was among those martyred on the first day of US-Israeli joint military aggression on the country.

The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has issued an urgent evacuation order for people living near key energy‑production facilities in three Persian Gulf Arab states after attacks on gas‑processing installations in southern Iran.

The IRGC warning said five complexes, two refineries, two petrochemical complexes, and a gas field in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have become now legitimate targets for Iranian retaliation.

The IRGC urged citizens, residents, and workers in the vicinity of these facilities to evacuate immediately to protect their lives.

The facilities named in the warning were SAMREF Refinery and Jubail Petrochemical Complex in Saudi Arabia, the Al‑Hosn Gas Field in the UAE and Al‑Mesaieed Holding and Petrochemical Complex, as well as Phases 1 and 2 of Ras Laffan Refinery in Qatar.

Iran had warned since the start of the US-Israeli aggression on February 28 that any attack on its key energy installations would cross a major red line, promising retaliation against oil and gas sites in Persian Gulf countries that are linked to the United States.

Authorities in the Iranian Oil Ministry said on Wednesday that US-Israeli airstrikes targeted parts of the refining installations in Asaluyeh, a coastal city that processes a bulk of the natural gas from South Pars, the world’s largest gas field, located on the maritime border between Iran and Qatar in the Persian Gulf.

The IRGC’s note added that the rulers of the Persian Gulf Arab states had ignored Iran’s warnings, persisting in “blind subservience” and making decisions that do not reflect the will of their peoples.

“We have repeatedly warned your leaders against following this dangerous path and dragging their peoples into a major gamble with their fate,” the note said.

“Therefore, they bear full responsibility for all consequences that will result from this course.”

Hundreds of thousands of mourners gathered in Tehran to participate in the funeral procession honoring the martyrdom of Iranian sailors and top officials, Ali Larijani and General Gholamreza Soleimani, assassinated during unprovoked US-Israeli aggression against the Islamic Republic.

Many attendees arrived ahead of the ceremony to pay their respects to the 84 Navy personnel martyred aboard IRIS Dena on March 4, as well as to Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, Dr. Ali Larijani, and the head of the Basij forces, Major General Gholamreza Soleimani, who were assassinated in targeted strikes on Tuesday.

The funeral procession witnessed one of the largest public gatherings in recent weeks, with crowds filling the streets of Tehran from early Wednesday morning.

People were holding photos of the martyrs and banners calling for justice.

The event was attended by the families of the martyrs, government officials, and military leaders.

Earlier on Tuesday, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) announced the martyrdom of General Soleimani, and Dr. Larijani alongside his son, Mortaza Larijani.

The high-ranking Iranian officials were killed in coordinated targeted strikes by the US-Israeli forces.

Iran has denounced all strikes as cowardly acts, vowing to avenge them in the most decisive manner.

In retaliation, the IRGC launched massive overnight airstrikes targeting over 100 locations in Tel Aviv.

Iran's navy personnel were killed while they were on an official mission in international waters to participate in a naval exercise in India.

The ship was struck by a US Navy MK 48 torpedo from a submarine, approximately 40 nautical miles off the coast of Galle, Sri Lanka.

Reports indicate around 20 sailors remain unaccounted for, while 32 were rescued by Sri Lankan authorities.

The United States and Israel launched a large-scale, unprovoked war against Iran on February 28, assassinating Leader of Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and a number of senior commanders.

Subsequent terrorist strikes on civilian and military targets have killed hundreds of people, including more than 200 children.

If something happens, it is America's fault, not ours

The Foreign Minister told Al Jazeera:

We did not limit ourselves to the enemy's official bases, wherever American forces were gathered, wherever their facilities were, they were targeted.

Some of these places may be near urban areas, this is not our fault, it is America's fault.

They moved their forces out of the military base and into hotels in the cities; in general, it is the behavior of the United States that has brought the region to this situation.

The Telegraph newspaper reported that half of Americans believe that US President Donald Trump started the war in Iran because of the scandals against him in the Jeffrey Epstein case.

According to the newspaper, a large part of these people believe that the real name of the US military operation in Iran is “Epstein’s Wrath” and not its official name, which is “Epic Wrath”.

The Telegraph wrote that protesters across Washington have pasted posters on walls with the title “Epstein’s Wrath”.

IRGC Public Relations:

The series of powerful operations by the armed forces in the last few hours was completed with Wave 62 of Operation Sadiq Promise 4, codenamed Mubarak or Ali bin Musa al-Reza, peace be upon him, and dedicated to the martyrs who are being buried by the grateful Iranian nation, by targeting all US bases in the region and military gathering points and Zionist combat support centers with Qadr multi-warhead, Khyber-Shakan, Emad and Hajj Qassem missiles.

In Wave 62, centers in Acre, Haifa, Tel Aviv, and Beersheba were destroyed with powerful missiles after the collapse of the ultra-advanced defense systems of the Zionist regime and criminal America without the warning sirens being activated.

All American bases in the region were plowed for the third consecutive time in Ali Salem, Victoria, Kharj, Al-Udeed, Al-Udeiri, Al-Dhafra, Al-Azraq, the Fifth Naval Fleet and Arifjan with powerful missiles and multiple warheads and precision-guided drones.

The glorious and astonishing presence of the Iranian nation in the social and public arenas, especially on the last Wednesday night of the year, has made the enemies angry, desperate and crazy, and the enemy has been imprisoned and captured in a triangle of Iranian national unity, the great power of missiles and drones, and the support of world public opinion for the Iranians.

The blind assassination of a number of Basijis does not disrupt the vast and million-strong sea of ​​Basijis, and it increases the will to continue the path of war until victory and the surrender of the enemy.

In addition to the large area of ​​fire, detachable warheads have three other important functions: first, to distract the enemy's defenses and act as a cover for other projectiles to pass through the defense layer, second, to impose a state of intense activity on the defenses in order to weaken and erode the system, and third, to impose a heavy and irreparable financial cost on the enemy.

In this video, it is clearly seen that for only 4 of the dozens of warheads detached from the Iranian missile, 4 interceptor missiles from the American THAAD system were fired.

The announced rate for each interceptor missile from the THAAD system is about $13 million. This means that not only do other warheads hit enemy territory and the system's firepower is quickly depleted, but in just 30 seconds, at least $52 million has been imposed on the enemy's financial plans to intercept 4 warheads from an Iranian missile, which is significant considering the political and social pressures on the opposing front.

Hebrew sources described last night as one of the hardest nights in the occupied territories; a night that was accompanied by a wave of Iranian missiles hitting the central and northern regions of the occupied territories.

Hebrew media outlets, including Channel 12 and Ma’ariv, reported that shrapnel and rocket explosions in various areas, including Holon and Mishmar Hashafa, caused widespread fires, power outages, and heavy material damage.

Israeli sources spoke of “several cars burning,” “warehouses exploding,” and “serious damage to infrastructure in the center.”

In the north, the heads of local councils of border settlements, including Shlomi and Mateh Asher, reported the critical situation of residents and warned the cabinet that they would soon recommend a complete evacuation if the government did not immediately provide the necessary means to protect the settlements.

The head of the regional council, Mateh Asher, also expressed his anger, saying: "We were promised security, but all we got were rockets and warnings. Our economy is paralyzed and the settlements are in a state of emergency."
