Israel’s military says it has killed Iranian security chief Ali Larijani, as the U.S. and Israel continue massive airstrikes across Iran. Larijani was among the most powerful figures in the Islamic Republic and helped direct nuclear negotiations with the U.S. and other Western powers. His reported assassination comes just days after he joined senior Iranian officials in a march through central Tehran in a public act of defiance against the U.S. and Israeli war. Israel also announced it had assassinated Basij force commander Gholamreza Soleimani in a separate airstrike.
