Iran’s Larijani to release message shortly, Tasnim reports Iran’s Tasnim News Agency says a message from Ali Larijani, secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, will be published shortly. The announcement comes as speculation grows about developments inside Iran’s leadership following Israeli strikes reported overnight in Tehran.

Iran security chief Ali Larijani killed, claims Israeli defence minister Rayhan Uddin on Tue, 03/17/2026 - 09:19 Top Iranian leader targeted on Monday night by Israeli strike, as Basij paramilitary leader also suspected dead Ali Larijani is pictured during a meeting in Damascus on 16 February 2020 (AFP/Louai Beshara) Off Israel Katz, the Israeli defence minister, said on Tuesday that Iran's security chief Ali Larijani had been killed in an Israeli strike. Four Israeli officials told Reuters that Larijani was targeted in strikes carried out on Monday night. They had said it was not initially clear whether he was killed or wounded.  There was no immediate confirmation from Iran.  Minutes after Katz's announcement, a handwritten note from Larijani was published on his Telegram account. In the note, he paid tribute to naval forces who had been killed recently, ahead of a funeral ceremony a day later.  “The martyrdom of the brave naval forces of the Islamic Republic Army in Dena is part of the sacrifices of the valiant nation, which has emerged in this critical time of struggle against international oppressors,” the note read. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); “Their memory will always remain in the hearts of the Iranian people, and these martyrdoms will strengthen the foundation of the Islamic Republic Army for years within the structure of the armed forces. “I ask Almighty God for the highest ranks for these dear martyrs.” The note was also posted on Larijani's X account. His most recent post before that was 13 hours earlier, late on Monday night.  Larijani is one of the most influential figures in the Islamic Republic, and has been viewed as a de-facto leader for the past two weeks since the assassination of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the former supreme leader. On Friday, he was seen on the streets of Tehran taking part in a mass rally for Al-Quds Day. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); A day later, the US offered a reward of up to $10m for information on senior Iranian officials, including Larijani, in a list of 10 figures it linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The Israeli military also said it targeted and killed Gholamreza Soleimani, the commander of the Basij paramilitary force, in a strike overnight, Israeli media reported. Iranian authorities did not immediately comment.  The military said Soleimani was targeted at a tent camp that the Basij had recently set up, after several of their headquarters had been struck by Israeli forces.  The attack also killed the paramilitary’s deputy commander and other top officials, Israel’s military said.  (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Meanwhile, the military also said it targeted Akram al-Ajouri, a top leader in Palestinian Islamic Jihad in a strike several days ago in Iran.  It said that Ajouri was likely killed in the strike, but that it was still working to confirm.  War on Iran News Post Date Override 0 Update Date Mon, 05/04/2020 - 21:19 Update Date Override 0
