Israel says it’s killed Iran’s security chief Larijani and Basij commander
AI Summary
Israel's Defence Minister claimed the country assassinated Ali Larijani, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, and Gholamreza Soleimani, commander of the Basij militia. The alleged assassinations, which Iran has not confirmed, are part of the ongoing conflict that began on February 28. Larijani was last seen publicly on Friday and is a key political figure who previously led Iran's nuclear negotiations. The Israeli military also claimed responsibility for killing Soleimani, citing precise intelligence. These alleged attacks follow previous US-Israeli strikes that killed the former Supreme Leader. While celebrated in Israel, analysts note that even if confirmed, these assassinations do not signify the fall of the Iranian regime.
