US EditionIsrael says key Iranian security chief Ali Larijani has been killed in strike
Israel's strikes killed two senior Iranian commanders linked to protest suppression amid an ongoing campaign, with over 1,300 deaths in Iran since the conflict began, Iranian Red Crescent said.
- In overnight strikes, Israel said it killed Ali Larijani in Iran and Gholam Reza Soleimani, Basij commander, in Iran, on Tuesday.
- Larijani had served as secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, shaping Iran's defence and nuclear policy, while Soleimani led Basij forces used to suppress protests and faced international sanctions.
- The Israeli military said it struck command centers, missile launch sites and air-defense systems across Iran and hit Basij leaders at a makeshift headquarters.
- The immediate fallout included Tehran firing missiles and drones at Gulf neighbours and Israel, prompting regional air defenses and a man killed by debris over Abu Dhabi.
- The killings would likely strip Iran of key leaders and weaken Basij command-and-control, while the conflict displaced over 1 million Lebanese and kept Brent crude over $100 a barrel.
