Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Israel Says Iran Security Chief Ali Larijani Killed in Strike
Caption: Israel Says Iran Security Chief Ali Larijani Killed in Strike. Israel Defense Forces said it killed Ali Larijani in overnight airstrikes, though Iran has not confirmed his death. Israel’s Minister of Defence Israel Katz said he was informed of Larijani’s killing following the latest wave of Israeli attacks. Israeli officials also claimed the strike killed the top security official and Basij commander Gholamreza Soleimani, who led the paramilitary unit for six years. The Basij is linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and has been involved in crackdowns on protests. Katz said Israel will continue targeting Iran’s leadership, describing it as a “regime of terror”. U.S. President Donald Trump had previously commented on the rapid turnover among Iran’s leadership during the conflict. Israeli media reported Larijani may have been struck alongside his son in a hideout apartment. Larijani, a former nuclear negotiator and ally of Ali Khamenei, was last seen publicly at Quds Day events in Tehran.
