Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, today: "This morning, we eliminated Ali Larijani. Ali Larijani is the boss of the Revolutionary Guards, that group of gangsters that effectively runs Iran. Full remarks >>

Alongside him, we also eliminated the commander of the Basij – they are the gangsters' assistants who are terrorizing the population in the streets of Tehran and other Iranian cities. We are operating there as well; operating from the air with Air Force jets and UAVs.

We are undermining this regime in the hope of giving the Iranian people an opportunity to remove it. It will not happen all at once, and it will not happen easily. But if we persist, we will give them the chance to take their destiny into their own hands.

At the same time, we are helping our American friends in the Gulf. I spoke at length with President @realDonaldTrump on this matter yesterday. There is cooperation between our air forces and navies, between myself and President Trump and his staff.

We will assist both through indirect attacks, which create immense pressure on the Iranian regime, and through direct actions. There are many more surprises. 'By stratagems, you shall make war.' We will not reveal all the stratagems here, but as I told you, there are many.

Now, regarding another matter: the most important thing for winning a war is determination: The determination of the leaders, the determination of the commanders, and the determination of the people. We are determined to win, and we will achieve these goals.
