Tel Aviv. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced this Sunday the death of the head of the Intelligence section of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, Mohamad Kazemi, and his"number two", Hassan Mohaqeq, due to Israeli bombings on Iranian soil.

"I can tell you that just moments ago we captured his intelligence chief and his deputy in Tehran," he said in an interview with Fox News.

London-based Iran International Television previously reported that Kazemi and Mohaqeq were buried after an Israeli attack on the headquarters of the Revolutionary Guard Intelligence (Pasdaran) in Tehran.

In the interview, Netanyahu again mentioned the alleged attempts by Iranian secret services to assassinate President Donald Trump:"He is enemy number one, a determined leader."

Trump "never took the path others used to try to negotiate from weakness, giving them a path to enrich uranium, which means a path to the bomb, giving them billions and billions of dollars," the Israeli prime minister argued.

Netanyahu claimed that they also tried to kill him,"but I'm just their junior partner." "They know that Trump is a big threat to Iran's plans to weaponize and use nuclear weapons," he added, thanking the US president for"supporting good over evil" and justifying the attacks on Iran because "we're not going to have another Holocaust."

Iran confirms the death of Mohammad Kazemi and his deputy, Hassan Mohakek.

Tehran confirmed the death of Mohamed Kazemi, head of intelligence for Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), and his deputy Hassan Mohaqeq, during recent Israeli airstrikes.

"The Israeli regime's brutal army continues its attacks and atrocities against Iran. It has once again revealed its vile and terrorist nature (...) by killing and martyring three IRGC soldiers: Mohamed Kazemi, head of the intelligence organization, as well as Hassan Mohaqeq and Mohsen Bagheri," the IRGC statement said.
