Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi said on Monday that Tehran will avenge the death of Revolutionary Guards Colonel Hassan Sayad Khodai, who was shot dead by two people on a motorcycle in the capital.
"I have agreed for our security forces to seriously follow up on this matter and I have no doubt that revenge for the pure blood of our martyr will be taken," Raisi said.
Israeli media said Khodai headed a unit of the Quds Force - the Revolutionary Guards' overseas arm - planning attacks on Israelis abroad. Sanam Vakil, deputy head of the Middle East and North Africa programme at Chatham House, said Khodai's assassination was meant to unsettle Tehran as tensions escalate with its arch-enemy Israel over Iran's nuclear programme.
"Yes, we know it. I don't want to get into the details of what happened or who did what. An assassination happened. Should I say I'm sorry he's no longer with us? I'm not sorry," he toldAt least six Iranian scientists and academics have been killed or attacked since 2010, several of them by assailants riding motorcycles, in attacks believed to have targeted Iran’s nuclear programme, which the West says is aimed at producing a bomb.
