 Israel warns its citizens in Turkey: "Iran could be targeted, leave the country"

Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lipid has called on Israeli citizens traveling to Turkey to leave Turkey as soon as possible. According to Reuters, the Israeli foreign minister said the request was prompted by a "threat" of a possible attack by Iran.

Reuters news agency quoted an Israeli security official as saying that Turkey had arrested several members of the Revolutionary Guards on suspicion of taking part in the operation, but the security official did not provide further details.

The Israeli Foreign Minister especially thanked the Turkish government for its support.

According to the AFP news agency, Yair Lipid has told its citizens to return to Israel as soon as possible if you are currently in Istanbul and cancel if you plan to go to Istanbul.

The Israeli foreign minister's remarks came hours after Iranian media reported that Ali Kamani and Mohammad Abdus of the Revolutionary Guards Air Force had been killed yesterday during a "mission."

About two weeks ago, Israel warned its citizens not to travel to Turkey, citing Iran's threat to avenge the assassination of Revolutionary Guards Colonel Sayyid Khudai.

Colonel Sayyid Khudai was shot dead by two motorcyclists on Sunday, June 12, as he was leaving his house on Mujahideen Islam Street.

Earlier, three Israeli television channels and newspapers reported that Colonel Sayyid Khudai was planning an operation against Israelis around the world.

Iran accuses Israel of killing Sayyid Khudai Iranian President Ibrahim Raisi has linked the assassination of Col. Hassan Sayyid Khudai to foreign elements, saying "there is no doubt that his blood will be avenged."

Attributing the killing of a Quds Force member to foreign agents, the Iranian president said that "global arrogance" could be seen in the crime.

In Iranian official literature, "global arrogance" is a term used by government officials to refer to their rivals or to foreign countries.

Remember that Khudai is the second most important figure in the Quds Force killed in recent years.

In 2020, General Qasim Soleimani, Iran's most powerful military commander, was killed in a US drone strike in Iraq. General Qasim Soleimani, as the head of the Quds Force, had extended the scope of Iranian military operations to the Middle East. The death of General Qasim Soleimani has further strained US-Iranian relations.

In 2020, Iranian nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizada was assassinated in Tehran. Mohsen Fakhrizada played a key role in Iran's nuclear program, but Iran insists its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes.

Iran has accused Israel of killing its nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizada. According to Iran, Israel used a remote-controlled weapon to kill him.
