Desk. It has been claimed that military action has been taken against Iran’s security chief Larijani. Citing Israeli media, news agency Reuters reported that the Israeli army has targeted Iran’s security chief Ali Larijani. The media report also said that the situation regarding Larijani’s condition after the attack could not be immediately clear. The army said that it is yet to be confirmed whether Larijani has been killed or injured. It is also important that Iran has not yet commented on this report of attack on Larijani.
Israeli officials said their forces targeted Ali Larijani in Tehran. Larijani is the secretary of Iran’s National Security Council and was considered very close to Iran’s former Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei. Since Khamenei’s death, Larijani has been seen as a prominent figure in Iran’s regime. However, Larijani’s fate in the attack is not yet clear. The Israeli military is investigating whether he was killed or injured in the attack. Iran has not yet issued an official statement on the news.
Meanwhile, the Israeli army has confirmed the death of Basij Force commander Gholamreza Soleimani. The army said that Soleimani was targeted in a tent camp. The Basij Force had built this camp after Israel destroyed their old headquarters. Along with Soleimani, the deputy commander of the Basij Force and several other senior officers were also killed in this attack. The Basij Force is known for brutally crushing protests in Iran. They are also accused of killing many Iranian citizens.
Israel has targeted not only Iranian leaders but also leaders of Palestinian terrorist groups. The army said it also struck Akram al-Ajouri, a prominent leader of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, on Wednesday. The army believes Akram al-Ajouri was killed in the attack, but this has yet to be fully confirmed.
Israeli Army Chief Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir described the operation as a major success. He said that several key targets were eliminated in the overnight strikes, which would significantly strengthen the military’s mission. He also stated that terrorists hiding in a safe house in Tehran who were involved in terrorist activities in Gaza and the West Bank were also targeted. This Israeli action has further escalated tensions throughout the region.
