Israel's military announced today: The secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, Larijani, has been eliminated.
The Israeli military statement said: "For years, Larijani has been considered one of the most senior and experienced figures in the Iranian regime leadership, as well as a close associate of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei."
Larijani currently has no direct administrative or military command authority! Unexpectedly, he was also targeted by Israel!
As of now, the Iranian authorities have not made any official statements regarding Larijani's status.
Key point of doubt: A core contradiction lies in the fact that after Israel announced the "killing" news, Tassnim News Agency, which has close relations with the Iranian government, posted a **handwritten note** on social media dated March 17, which expressed condolences for Iranian naval martyrs. The note is claimed to have been written by Larijani himself, directly challenging Israel's claim.
It is reported that Larijani has been very active on social media, and he still posted messages on the 16th. CCTV's reporter also mentioned that after the air strike news was released, his social media account still posted eulogies.
In short, Israel's claims are very firm, but signals released by media close to Iran suggest that Larijani may still be alive. Before the Iranian authorities make an official statement, the authenticity of this news remains uncertain.
