What we know as Israel says it killed top Iranian official Ali Larijani

Israel says it killed Ali Larijani, Iran's top security official, in overnight strikes, according to Israeli officials. Larijani, who has held influential positions in Iran's government and security apparatus for decades, is considered one of the most powerful figures in Tehran's decision-making structure. The killing of such a senior Iranian official would represent a significant escalation in Israeli-Iranian hostilities and could have major implications for regional stability. The claim has not yet been independently verified and Iran has not officially commented on the reported strike. Any confirmation of Larijani's death could trigger Iranian retaliation and further destabilize an already tense region.
