Israel told US it carried out assassination of Iranian colonel, report says
Israel informed the US that it killed a colonel in Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a warning to Tehran to stop the operations of a covert military unit to which the officer belonged, The New York Times reported, citing an unnamed intelligence official.
Colonel Sayad Khodai, a member of the IRGC was assasinated in Tehran while parking his car outside of his home on Sunday last week.
In a letter to the UN on Wednesday, Iran's ambassador to the UN, Majid Takht Ravanchi, urged the international community to condemn Khodai's assassination.
"In line with its responsibilities to genuinely fight terrorism and in a non-discriminatory manner, the UN is expected to condemn this atrocious act," Ravanchi said.
Referring to the Zionist regime, he said the attack was carried out "by certain regimes to advance their illegitimate foreign policy goals in the region".
