The public figure representing Iran, Ali Larijani, officially serving as serving as the secretary of the Supreme National Security Council since 2025, has likely been killed in an Israeli airstrike based on an insider tip.



This occurred during a series of strikes today targeting several high-ranking Iranian officials.

These airstrikes are part of a broader military escalation that includes the assassination of other high-profile Iranian leaders, including former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, earlier in the year.

While Israeli sources confirmed Larijani's death, Iranian state media has not yet provided verification. They also have not provided proof of life.

The death of Ali Larijani, a significant political figure, could complicate the already tense relations and power dynamics within Iran and against its adversaries especially now that Mojtaba Khamenei has been outed as gay.
