Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced on Tuesday that the head of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, Ali Larijani, was killed in an overnight airstrike. According to Israeli sources, the air force targeted Larijani in the attack, as well as the commander of the Basij paramilitary units. Iran has not yet confirmed the death of its security chief, and Iranian state media have not commented on the information from the Israeli side. ta3.com ↗ hnonline.sk ↗

Larijani was one of the most influential figures in the Iranian regime and held extensive authority over security matters. Following the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, analysts say he wielded considerable military power and was regarded as the de facto ruler of Iran. He was also involved in the brutal suppression of domestic protests in the country and was responsible for negotiations with international partners, including the United States. dennikn.sk ↗ irozhlas.cz ↗

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded to Larijani's death by calling on the Iranian population to "take their fate into their own hands." The incident occurred amid continuing tensions between Israel and Iran. Larijani's potential death represents a significant blow to the security structure of the Iranian regime and could deeply affect the dynamics of the country's leadership. An important question remains whether Iran will officially confirm the event and how it will respond to this military operation. hnonline.sk ↗ teraz.sk ↗
