The Iranian army has announced that it will step up retaliatory attacks nearly a week after the start of the war, DPA reported, BTA reported.
In the coming days, the enemy will be subjected to more fierce and wide-ranging attacks, state television reported today, citing the "Khatam al-Anbiya", or Central Headquarters, which takes operational command of the Iranian armed forces during wartime.
The Iranian military leadership reported attacks with kamikaze drones against the Israeli Ramat David air base and a radar station in Israel, as well as against a US base in Kuwait and in Erbil, Iraq.
Against this backdrop, the Islamic Republic's interim ruling council continues to discuss the issue of choosing a successor to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed in Israeli-American strikes on Saturday.
In their fourth meeting, Iran's interim collective leadership - which includes President Masoud Pezeshkian, Judiciary Chief Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Ejei and cleric Alireza Arafi - discussed convening a meeting to elect a new supreme leader, according to a government statement released today.
The troika has been running state affairs since Khamenei's death.
Yesterday, the interim leadership was granted extraordinary powers that include the right to make decisions on war and peace and to fire and appoint the police and army.
Under the constitution, Iran's supreme leader is elected by a body called the "Assembly of Experts", made up of 88 clerics. No date has been set for the meeting.
On Wednesday, Israel's defense minister warned that Israel would also eliminate Khamenei's successor. Among the possible candidates for the post is Khamenei's second son, Mojtaba.
