Israel has carried out an overnight airstrike in Iran targeting one of the country’s top security officials, Ali Larijani. He is the secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council and a key figure in Tehran’s leadership.
It is not yet clear if Larijani was killed or injured. Iranian authorities have not confirmed his fate, adding uncertainty to the already tense situation in the region.
The strike also reportedly targeted other senior military leaders, including commanders of Iran’s Basij paramilitary force. Israeli officials described the operation as highly successful, though independent verification is still pending.
This attack marks a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran. Experts warn that it could increase tensions across the Middle East and have wider consequences for regional stability.
