The country's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has issued a statement on Khamenei's death. In the statement, the IRGC announced the launch of the most destructive offensive operation in Iran's history.
The IRGC said that this attack will begin in a few moments. This attack will target occupied territories and American terrorist bases.
