Iranian top commander says 'Israel killed IRGC member,' vows revenge

Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) Commander-in-Chief on Monday blamed Israel for the recent killing of its officer in Tehran and vowed to avenge, the IRGC said on its website.

Hossein Salami said "the enemy followed Hassan Sayyad Khodaei for months and years, house to house and alley to alley, in order to kill him."

Salami noted that Iran will take revenge for his assassination.
