Israel Claims Major Blow: Ali Larijani Killed in Overnight Attack
Ali Larijani, Iran's security chief, was among those targeted in Israeli strikes on Iran overnight, according to Israeli media reports. It remains unclear if Larijani, a top figure in Iran's establishment, was killed or injured in the strike, according to a report by Times of Israel.
Israel's defence minister, Israel Katz, has also claimed that Larijani has been killed.
Iran has, however, not yet commented on the reports. Larijani, a former nuclear negotiator who serves as secretary of Iran's National Security Council, is widely seen as one of the most influential figures in Iran's power structure.
