Defense Minister Israel Katz said on March 17 that Ali Larijani, the secretary of Iran’s National Security Council, was killed in an Israeli strike overnight, with the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announcing that Basij paramilitary force commander Gholamreza Soleimani was killed in a separate strike on the Islamic Republic.
“Larijani and the Basij commander were eliminated overnight and joined the head of the annihilation program, Khamenei, and all the eliminated members of the axis of evil, in the depths of hell,” Katz said during an assessment this morning, according to his office.
Born in 1958 to a prominent clerical family, Ali Larijani rose through the ranks of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and academia to become a central power broker in the Islamic Republic.
He is best known for his 12-year tenure as Speaker of Parliament and last role as Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council. He emerged as one of the main decision makers in Iran after the start of the American-Israeli war, especially in the period following the assassination of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
Larijani was last seen publicly four days earlier, attending the al-Quds day rally in support of Palestinians in the capital, Tehran, along with Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian.
After Katz’ announcement, Iranian state media released a photo of a handwritten message from Larijani for the funeral of Iranian sailors killed in the United States strike on the Iris Dena on March 4, without outright denying or confirming his death.
“The martyrdom of the brave members of the Navy of the Army of the Islamic Republic in Dena is part of the sacrifices of the proud nation that has emerged in this time of struggle against international oppressors,” Larijani wrote in what might have been his final missive. “Their memory will always remain in the heart of the Iranian nation, and these martyrdoms will strengthen the foundations of the Army of the Islamic Republic for years to come within the structure of the armed forces.”

Iranian state media has either confirmed or denied the death of the head of the Basij, which is considered an auxiliary to the IRGC that functions as a key instrument for internal security.

Another Israeli strike that targeted Iran overnight is reported to have targeted Palestinian Islamic Jihad leader Akram al-Ajouri and other top officials from the group. This is yet to be confirmed, however.
The assassination of Larijani, if confirmed, would certainly be a blow to Iran. Still, it won’t be something surprising or unexpected.
So far, the killing of senior officials have not had any real impact on Iran’s command and control chain, nor affected the decision making mechanism in the Islamic Republic.
In fact, a recent Reuters report revealed that Iran’s new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, has rejected proposals for reducing tensions or for a ceasefire with the U.S. that were conveyed to the Islamic Republic by two intermediary countries.
Khamenei’s stance for revenge against the U.S. and Israel was “very tough and serious” in his first foreign policy session, an Iranian official told the news agency, without clarifying whether the leader attended the session in person.
The senior official also said it was not “the right time for peace until the United States and Israel are brought to their knees, accept defeat, and pay compensation.”

treasonous russia would deserve a border on the urals
the jooz will kill a lot of people and cause a lot of destruction. they always do. they are like poisonous maggots infesting any host that tolerates their presence. but they will achieve nothing. they have failed already. and they will take their amerikunt whores down with them.
at the end khazars will forced to “aliyah” back to khazaria
meanwhile, netenhayoo is hiding in a bunker in berlin.
bibi is probably dead.
israel is lying again. this is nothing new.
they lie every time they breathe in and once again when they breathe out.
indi modi is double tongue snake he knows his mster trump plans hve filed know he wnt to play cool boy to get more irn oil to resell to his western masters.he were order not to buy russian oil
did anyone on s-f hear this announcement from idf spokewoman (dual russian and i$raeli citizen) anna ukolova – “threatening any russian authorities to be killed if they take anti-i$rael position in the war”… she claims that i$rael controls all web-cameras in russia and could kill whoever it wants -including poutine!…
the jooz will kill anyone they can, like a rabid dog will bite anyone it can. they tried to murder winston churchill, and konrad adenauer, post war chancellor of germany, with letter bombs. they murdered count bernadotte, a distinguished swedish diplomat. he was a brave man who risked his life and saved thousands of jooz in hungary during ww2 by giving them fake documents. but the jooz murdered him anyway. they murdered charlie kirk recenrly.
shaking my head in disbelief… how could russia allow this “thing” to be a citizen of it’s country?… especially after maidan 2014… but look at how much poutine is financially worth since 2000 and the $hyl0ck/0ligarchs that made him rich and you have your answer why they are permitted to coexist as dual national($).
iranian leaders go boom-boom bye-bye!!!
iranians are too nice, they gonna lose the war. banzai.
larijani was killed by putler and assad through their betrayal. they killed him exactly as if they had shot him in the middle of the office during lunch between working hours. i hope his successor will find out the real culprits and traitors (putler and assad) and pay the russian mafia to kill them.
without the betrayal of the disgusting bastards and hyenas of the alawites and russians, israel would never have dared to commit such a crime in iran. that is why i wish that the alawites and russians had more enemies than there are rats in india. i wish that there were more enemies and murderers of the alawites and russians than there are leaves on kozara. until the traitorous alawites and russians disappear from this planet.
rest in piss, goatfucker…heheheh
who would have thought that those dum persi@nos and their pathetic 5,000 year old civilization were going to end up conquered and gaped by someone like don the con tramp
i wish the traitors (russian and alawites) would never have peace because they killed the ayatollah and larijani.with their betrayal of syria, they opened the door to the destruction of iran. that’s why i wish there would always be someone who wanted to kill them until both the russians and the alawites were wiped off the face of the earth. that their wives and daughters would all be sold into brothels and their children’s organs would be used to give profit all sorts of mafias.
