Israel says key Iranian security chief Ali Larijani has been killed in strike
- In overnight strikes, Israel said it killed Ali Larijani in Iran and Gholam Reza Soleimani, Basij commander, in Iran, on Tuesday.
- Larijani had served as secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, shaping Iran's defence and nuclear policy, while Soleimani led Basij forces used to suppress protests and faced international sanctions.
- The Israeli military said it struck command centers, missile launch sites and air-defense systems across Iran and hit Basij leaders at a makeshift headquarters.
- The immediate fallout included Tehran firing missiles and drones at Gulf neighbours and Israel, prompting regional air defenses and a man killed by debris over Abu Dhabi.
- The killings would likely strip Iran of key leaders and weaken Basij command-and-control, while the conflict displaced over 1 million Lebanese and kept Brent crude over $100 a barrel.
