Israel announced the killing of the architect of the nuclear program and one of Iran's most influential figures, Ali Larijani
The Israel Defense Forces launched an airstrike on a safe house in Iran, targeting Iran's Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, Ali Larijani.
Israel's Defense Minister Israel Katz officially confirmed the death of the high-ranking official, who was called one of the most influential figures in the country and a key figure in the development of Iran's nuclear weapons.
Along with him, the commander of the Basij forces, Gholamreza Soleimani, was killed in the attack.
The attack took place last night after Israeli intelligence received information about Larijani's arrival at a secret location — according to some reports, he was accompanied by his son.
The power of the strike was such that sources in Israeli security services stated there were no chances of survival.
This operation will be a serious blow to Iran's military-political structure, as Larijani not only oversaw the nuclear program, was the main driver of Tehran's rapprochement with China, and was also responsible for suppressing internal protests. He was considered one of the closest associates of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Over the years, he conducted complex negotiations with the United States and prepared the country for a possible war.
