IRGC’s intelligence chief, two other generals were killed in Israeli attacks on Sunday.
Renewed Israeli attacks hit Tehran and other Iranian cities for a third straight day, as Iran launches retaliatory strikes on Israel.
Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says the Iranian response will stop when Israel halts its attacks on Iran.
Iran says at least 224 people killed since Israel launched attacks. In Israel, at least 13 people have been killed.
Meanwhile, Israeli officials have argued that the ongoing military operation against Iran was necessary as the country was months away from producing a nuclear weapon.
Al Jazeera’s senior political analyst Marwan Bishara said Israel has no credible evidence to sustain its claim, which the US also knows to be inaccurate.
“Netanyahu played into the same theatre of deception that was played before the war on Iraq in 2003,” he said.
In March, the United States’ Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard told the US Congress that Iran was not building a nuclear weapon and that Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei did not authorise the nuclear weapons programme that he suspended in 2003.
Bishara said Netanyahu’s interview with Fox News was reminiscent of a speech given by former US National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice in reference to Iraq’s purported possession of weapons of mass destruction.
The claim that Iraq was actively building nuclear weapons prior to the 2003 US-led invasion was debunked.
