Israel kills the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council

According to RIA Novosti, on March 17, 2026 at 19:20, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz claimed that Israel has killed Ali Larijani, the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council.

The Ukraine.ru Telegram channel reported on the 17th that Israeli military officials, Israel Katz, announced the killing of Ali Larijani, the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council.

It is reported that in this air strike, Gholamreza Soleimani, commander of the Basij militia forces under the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, also died along with Larijani.

Meanwhile, the Iranian news agency INSA stated that Larijani's statement will be released soon.

Previously, Larijani had said, "The remnants of the Epstein gang have plotted a conspiracy to create an event similar to the 2001 '9/11' terrorist attack and blame it on Iran."

On February 28, Saturday, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced a "preventive" strike against Iran. Subsequently, US President Donald Trump announced a large-scale military operation against Iran, emphasizing that the operation aims to "protect the American people by eliminating direct threats." He stated that Iran's actions "directly threaten" the United States, the US military, its overseas bases, and global allies.

This military operation led to the death of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and Iran subsequently declared a 40-day national mourning period. Russia strongly condemned this: Russian President Vladimir Putin called the incident a crude violation of moral standards and international law, and the Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson urged all parties to immediately cease fire, ease the conflict, and held the United States and Israel responsible for this attack.

Afterward, Pentagon officials at a closed-door briefing to the US Congress admitted that US intelligence agencies did not have information about Iran planning to strike US forces first.

On the first day of the Middle East conflict (February 28), the Shajareh Tayebeh Girls' Primary School in southern Iran was attacked. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said that approximately 200 people died in this tragedy.
