Israel claims to have killed Iran's Larijani in overnight airstrike

Top Iranian official Ali Larijani was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Iran last night, Defense Minister Israel Katz said on Tuesday, according to The Times of Israel.

The IDF confirmed targeting Larijani, the secretary of Iran’s National Security Council.

The IDF, meanwhile, said that a separate strike killed Basij paramilitary force commander Gholamreza Soleimani.

“Larijani and the Basij commander were eliminated overnight and joined the head of the annihilation program, Khamenei, and all the eliminated members of the axis of evil, in the depths of hell,” Katz says during an assessment this morning, according to his office.
