The Israeli military killed two top Iranian security officials in separate overnight strikes, multiple reports Tuesday indicate, further eroding the Islamic dictatorship’s senior leadership and command structure.
AP reports Israeli defense minister Israel Katz said the country’s military eliminated top Iranian security official Ali Larijani in one of the deadly hits.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed the action.
The veteran terror leader was a former nuclear negotiator for Iran and a close ally of the late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed on the first day of the war.
Larijani’s demise comes four days after he marched alongside thousands of Iranians at a Quds Day rally in Tehran where he sneered at U.S. President Donald Trump during a live interview.
