Ali Larijani, a senior figure in the Iranian regime, revealed in a televised interview on Iran’s state broadcaster that he received a direct threat during the war with Israel warning him to flee the country or face assassination.
“In the midst of the war, I got a call telling me I had 12 hours to leave the country or I would be killed,” Larijani said. “They told me they’d send me to join my martyred friends Akri and Salami. I knew who was calling, and I gave Mr. Netanyahu an appropriate response.”
Larijani alleged that Israel had planned a sweeping strike to decapitate Iran’s leadership. “The Israelis targeted the site where the Supreme National Security Council was convening, with the intent to eliminate the heads of the state and then move on to strike the Supreme Leader Khamenei,” he said.
According to a report in Yisroel Hayom, Larijani also claimed that Iran had struck American military targets. “Of the 14 missiles we fired, six struck a U.S. base with significant impact. Each carried a 400-kilogram warhead. We know exactly what happened, but let Trump keep dreaming,” he said.
In response to President Trump’s assertion that Iran’s underground nuclear facility in Fordow had been destroyed, Larijani dismissed the claim mockingly: “I won’t say anything about Fordow—let them enjoy their illusions.”
