Iran’s highest-ranking officials have issued profound messages of condolence following the martyrdom of veteran diplomat Kamal Kharrazi.

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei extends condolences to Iranian military commanders over the martyrdom of the head of the IRGC’s Intelligence Organization.

Messages of condolences pour in after the head of the Intelligence Organization of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), Major General Majid Khademi, was assassinated in a US-Israeli terror strike in Tehran.

Araghchi says the Israeli targeted killing of Lebanese journalists is “an attempt to kill truth.”

The Iranian foreign minister says the Islamic Republic is established on a robust political system and thus, it will not be affected by losing an official.

Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Aziz Nasirzadeh and Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi have been martyred in the US-Israeli aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran.

An international press group says a record 129 journalists and media workers were killed worldwide last year, with Israel responsible for two-thirds of the global total.
