Ali Larijani, the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, was killed, claims the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), a statement confirmed by Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz. However, there is still no confirmation from Iran.
Israel carried out a targeted assassination mission, killing Ali Larijani, the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, an important leader after Khamenei's death.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed the operation, which is considered the most significant since the beginning of the war.
Larijani was perceived as the de facto leader of Iran, coordinating the country's activities and negotiations with the West after the assassination of Khamenei and other high-ranking officials.
Although Iranian authorities have not confirmed the assassination, the IDF stated that the attack was successful.
The killing of Larijani could have a significant impact on the strategic situation in Iran, considering that he was a prominent voice of the regime and managed national security. In his absence, other figures, such as Ahmad Vahidi, could take over the leadership of the regime.
