Controversial Claim from Tel Aviv
The Israeli Defense Minister, Israel Katz, officially announced that Ali Larijani, one of the prominent figures of the Islamic Republic, was killed following nighttime airstrikes on Iran. This claim comes as Iranian officials have yet to respond to it.
Katz stated that Ali Larijani was one of the main targets of this operation, which took place at midnight on Monday and early Tuesday morning. No further details about the exact location of these attacks or how they occurred have been disclosed to the media.
Iran's Silence on the Claims
While some Israeli officials had previously stated that Larijani was on the list of targets for these attacks, no independent sources have confirmed this news, and official representatives of the Islamic Republic have remained silent.
This news could have profound impacts on the political and security equations in the region, and it seems that more reactions from Iranian officials and analysts are expected in the coming days.
