Israeli Prime Minister warns Iran

Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said Iran will not escape sanctions for “inciting proxy attacks”.

Bennett’s warning came on May 29, a week after the assassination of Colonel Hassan Sayad Khodai, a commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in Tehran.

Khodai, who is accused by Israel of plotting to ambush its citizens around the world, was shot dead in his car by two assassins riding a motorbike outside his home in the Iranian capital. The manner of committing the crime is reminiscent of previous assassinations in Iran, centered on the Islamic nation’s nuclear scientists and often blamed by Tehran on Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency.

Iran’s semi-official ISNA news agency reported that members of an Israeli intelligence network were discovered and arrested by the IRGC shortly after Khodai’s murder. Iranian authorities also pledged to avenge the officer’s death.

Prime Minister Bennett’s office, which administers the Mossad intelligence agency, declined to comment on the case. However, speaking to ministers at the Israeli cabinet meeting on May 29, Mr. Bennett accused Iran of repeatedly targeting the interests of the Jewish state.

“For decades, the Iranian regime has used terrorism against Israel and the region by proxy means, espionage, but the head of the octopus, Iran itself, enjoys immunity. As we said before, the era of Iranian regime immunity is over. Those who sponsor terrorists, those who arm terrorists, and those who send terrorists will pay the full price,” Bennett said.

The Iranian side has not yet responded to the statements of the Israeli government leaders.
