IRGC responds to killing of Larijani Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has responded to the confirmation of Ali Larijani’s assassination. In a statement published by Iran’s Tasnim news agency, the IRGC called Larijani a “distinguished figure, thinker [and] revolutionary politician” and emphasised that the “pure blood of this great martyr, like other dear martyrs, will be a source of honour, strength, and national awakening.” “The IRGC will certainly not forget the bloodlust of this great martyr and other martyrs,” it added.
