Received message: 'They hit Phase 2 #Pardis at 3 AM Tuesday, March 26th.' The sender wrote a few hours later while sending these images: They say Larijani and Radan were here. I don't know what they're basing this on, but I also had other messages from people who wrote that Ali Larijani was killed in the attack on Pardis. Vahid 📡 @VahidOnline

Received message along with the first two images: They hit above the Jannat Abad flower market an hour ago. [That would be around 12:30] It continued: 'That warehouse was full of ammunition and forces. A week ago they had hit the Basij base next to it.' Third image: 'North Jannat Abad Basij - all the windows on the entire street were shattered.' #Tehran March 16 Vahid I also received the fourth image after the post and replaced it with the previous image. 📡 @VahidOnline

Benjamin Netanyahu, in a statement broadcast on Israeli television, emphasized that Ali Larijani and Gholamreza Soleimani have been killed. The Israeli Prime Minister said in this statement: "This morning we eliminated Ali Larijani, the head of the Revolutionary Guards, who is the mafia of mafias." He said overthrowing the regime "doesn't happen all at once. It doesn't happen easily either. But if we continue this work, we give them [the Iranian people] the opportunity to take their fate into their own hands." @ VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

Fars and Tasnim news agencies affiliated with the IRGC, and Mehr news agency affiliated with the Islamic Propaganda Organization, along with other Islamic Republic sources, made claims about hacking me and exposing connections with Mossad and... They even claimed I'm connected to somewhere they carried out a missile attack on today! I don't know where they attacked, but I'm an ordinary citizen who isn't connected to anywhere. I do all my work under the Vahid Online identity by myself. I'm at my home in Maryland, USA. No missile hit me, no one hacked me, and nothing else happened to me. They've known my real identity for years and finally the day came when they wanted to expose it and pretend as if they just obtained it, so they could weave these nonsense stories alongside it to scare people. The information they quoted from my ID seems correct. Though my birthplace isn't Babel. My family's Mazandaran bias made them go get the ID from our ancestral province so my pride in being a Baboli Rika would be officially registered and my Kay identity could be proven! My birth date was also incorrectly registered in the ID for Iranian reasons so I could start school a year early. The photo of that guy they created with AI has no resemblance to me. Even his age doesn't match mine! Social media users' attempts to reconstruct my face from my avatar were much stronger. It's true that I have a civil engineering degree, but things like having collaborated with a website called Kalame are lies. They wrote a bunch of correct but irrelevant personal information so they could slip in other stories and names that are complete fabrications. I had no relationship with any political current or group, whether inside or outside Iran. But well, all this relates to before today, so when they expose my offline name and it gets searched, my clean record would be clear to everyone and no story could be made from it. Now that they've removed this barrier and taken me into a new era of life, I don't know what new things I want to do that I couldn't before because of these limitations. When I'm not around for a few hours, many people get worried, but I simply just lack time and there's no cause for any concern. 📡 @VahidOnline

Israel Katz, Israel's Defense Minister, announced that Ali Larijani, Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of the Islamic Republic, was killed in an attack on Tehran. @ VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline

English

The Israeli army says it has targeted and killed Gholamreza Soleimani, head of the Basij Organization of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, in Tehran. At the same time, Israeli media reported the targeting of Ali Larijani, Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council. Iranian media have not yet confirmed these reports. Brigadier General Gholamreza Soleimani had been appointed head of the Basij Organization since summer 2019 by order of Ali Khamenei, the leader of the Islamic Republic. According to the Israeli army, these attacks were carried out in Tehran, Shiraz, and Tabriz. Israel says in these attacks it bombed "various security headquarters including those belonging to the Ministry of Intelligence, Basij, as well as locations used for storing and launching drones, ballistic missiles, and air defense systems." Meanwhile, Eyal Zamir, Chief of General Staff of the Israeli army, said that the country targeted a safe house in Tehran during the Tuesday dawn attacks. @VahidHeadline (Please only send messages if you have images for the next few hours.

Received report: At 11:45 air defense activated in south Tehran - no explosion sounds felt so far, only air defense launches can be heard (drones don't make sound either) just the air defense shooting in south Tehran. I'm posting other received messages that cannot be verified or confirmed, as some may have mistaken air defense sounds for something else. They say there's also significant thunder and lightning, and some who had sent messages later wrote that they had mistaken the light and sound of thunder and lightning. Therefore, messages from these hours can't be relied upon much: 23:37 and 23:40 in west Tehran a very strange sound like an earthquake with shaking, each lasting about 5 seconds, it was a very deep and strange sound I had never heard before. At 11:44 Tehran Piroozi anti-aircraft sounds started, Vahid again air defenses are firing and explosion sounds coming from Tehran. At 11:45 air defense sounds coming from Narmak area anti-aircraft fire; now towards south Tehran repeated explosion sounds in central Tehran from 12:13. At 23:45 Monday 25 Esfand air defense sounds coming from Yousefabad direction I hope... [Please only focus on news points. Thank you.] At 23:45 towards east Tehran Piroozi lots of sounds coming, first it was air defense then several explosions. Monday at 23:45 air defense sounds towards Shariati and Andarzgoo 11:49 intense air defense east. 23:45 east Tehran many explosions and air defense activity Afsarieh lots of explosion sounds coming both air defense and explosions. At 23:54 hello at 23:54 Tehran Resalat air defense sounds activated hello sounds I don't know air defense or explosion at 23:45 Amir Abad. At 23:45 air defense sounds southeast, explosion not very strong and relatively large fire around Khavaran highway Rezvieh neighborhood. I'm in Shahriar 10 minutes ago fighter jet sounds came with shaking but very strange more than 20 times in these ten minutes thunder and lightning struck the sky I thought they were bombing but no it's raining apparently [in Shahriar many thought it was fighter jets and bombing sounds but apparently that was also thunder and lightning, but regarding other places many still insist it's both thunder and lightning and explosions]. Now at 12:30 Saadat Abad intense thunder and lightning we thought it was explosions 📡 @VahidOnline
