Media: Israel will pay the price for attempting to assassinate the Iranian president

A senior Iranian source told Qatar's Al Jazeera that Israel will pay the price for attempting to assassinate Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian.

The semi-official Iranian news agency Fars previously reported that Pezeshkian suffered a minor leg injury when he evacuated a building attacked by Israel on June 16 in Tehran.

The source said, "During Israel's aggression, there was an attempt to assassinate leaders of the executive and legislative branches."

He also said that the attempt to assassinate the Iranian president is part of Israel's plan to overthrow the country's government.

He pointed out, "Israel will pay the price for the attempt to assassinate the Iranian president."

This source said that the Iranian authorities have conducted a wide-ranging investigation into the attempt to murder Pezeshkian, and an Israeli agent may have been present at the scene.
