Iranian state media: Majid Ebn Reza has been appointed as the head of Iran's Ministry of Intelligence and will take over the position of Esmail Khatib after khatlib has been eliminated by Israel.
Iran has reportedly appointed a replacement for Intelligence Minister Esmail Khatib, who was eliminated by Israel.
The successor's identity will be revealed soon.
Honorable President, Mr. Pezeshkian,
I hereby offer my congratulations and condolences to you on the martyrdom of the Minister of Intelligence, Hujjat al-Islam Sayyid Esmail Khatib.
Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, in a written statement, said: "I express my condolences on the death of the martyr, Intelligence Minister Ismail Khatib. Security must be denied to the enemies at home and abroad and provided to the entire nation."
The IAF has developed what it calls "metro sorties" — drones and fighter jets loitering over Iran and striking ballistic missile launchers, soldiers, and other targets in real time as they're identified.
This method was used to kill Iran's intelligence minister Esmaeil Khatib in Tehran yesterday, the IDF says.
Iran President: “The cowardly assassination of my dear colleagues Ismail Khatib, Ali Larijani, and Aziz Nasirzadeh, alongside some of their family members and accompanying team, has left us in mourning. I extend my condolences to the great people of Iran for the martyrdom of two cabinet members, the secretary of the Shura, and the military and Basij commanders. I am certain that their path will continue more steadfastly than before”
Fox News: Allied airstrikes reportedly killed top Iranian leader Esmaeil Khatib, who was linked to threats against President Trump and oversaw global sleeper cell operations.
