Larijani committed serious negligence, Israel disclosed the assassination process, and said he was too arrogant and overconfident!
At 03:18 on March 18, 2026, Iran issued an official statement confirming that Ali Larijani, his son, and bodyguard were killed in an attack at a private residence in Tehran. At the same time, Israel publicly disclosed details of the assassination, directly pointing out that Larijani had committed "serious security negligence" and even described his behavior as "arrogant and overconfident."
According to multiple reports, the attack occurred early on March 17 at a regular house in the Pardehiseh community in Tehran — this was the residence of Larijani's daughter. At that time, Larijani was staying there with his son Morteza and his assistant Ali Reza Bayat. A sudden air strike instantly turned the house into ruins, and the three were killed on the spot.
The Israeli intelligence agency announced that this was a precise elimination after a long period of tracking. Instead of attacking government buildings or military bases, the Israeli army targeted a private residence that appeared completely unguarded.
The Israeli Broadcasting Authority later revealed more details, stating that the key to the success of this operation was Larijani's "security arrogance." According to a Hebrew language channel, the Israeli military invested a large amount of resources in long-term monitoring of Larijani, eventually identifying his whereabouts through his public activities.
Specifically, Larijani has recently appeared frequently in public, including attending the Jerusalem Day rally and giving media interviews. These actions provided valuable digital clues for Israel. Modern intelligence warfare no longer relies on traditional human reconnaissance; technologies such as video recognition, facial comparison, and social media analysis are sufficient to make a person who appears frequently in public unable to hide.
Daguo believes that Israel is clearly covering up the spies embedded in Larijani, so it has openly promoted its open-source intelligence capabilities. On the surface, it seems that they used open-source information (OSINT) combined with advanced surveillance methods to successfully build a map of Larijani's activity routes. But without betrayal from people around him, according to Mossad's usual style, Israel would not have been able to confirm so quickly that they had killed Larijani. In short, Iran has been infiltrated like a sieve.
