BRIEFING: IRAN LEADERS KILLED

IRAN LEADERS KILLED

Israel has carried out one of the most significant strikes of the war so far, killing senior Iranian official Ali Larijani in Tehran along with the head of the Basij paramilitary force.

Larijani, who had effectively become the regime’s central decision-maker following the death of the supreme leader, was targeted in a precision Israeli airstrike inside the Iranian capital.

In a separate strike, Israel also eliminated the commander of the Basij force — a key arm of Iran’s internal repression apparatus responsible for suppressing protests and enforcing regime control.
