Shocked! The secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, Larijani, has died! According to domestic media reports on March 17, the Israeli Defense Forces attacked Larijani, the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, on the night of the 16th. The Israeli military stated that Larijani has died. If this news is true, it would be a huge loss for Iran. In fact, although the son of Khamenei is the supreme leader of Iran, Larijani, in his position, is the most critical "power broker" after Khamenei.
Larijani holds the positions of Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council and Senior Advisor to the Supreme Leader. He is the highest-level coordinator of Iran's security, defense, intelligence, and foreign affairs, directly responsible to the Supreme Leader. It is not an exaggeration to call him the "regent" during Iran's transitional period. In fact, after the assassination of Khamenei, Larijani was the only one who could stabilize the military and political situation, connect different factions, and coordinate the counterattack.
Now that the new supreme leader of Iran has not yet stabilized, it needs a person with deep experience, high prestige, and trustworthiness to take charge of practical affairs, control the scale of military retaliation, stabilize the domestic order, and maintain secret channels abroad. Obviously, Israel's assassination of Larijani aims to completely break Iran's wartime command system, create a power vacuum and internal chaos. Larijani's death will have an immense impact on Iran. Facts prove that there are still security loopholes in Iran's senior leadership, and Iran still needs more severe measures to eliminate internal spies.
