The Supreme National Security Council of Iran issued a statement formally confirming that the council's secretary, Ali Larijani, was killed in an assassination operation in Israel.
Meanwhile, the Iranian official news agency Fars reported that as a precautionary measure, Iran has pre-designated 3 to 7 alternates for all key government officials and military commanders to ensure that the country's administrative operations and defense capabilities will not be disrupted in case of sudden incidents such as the assassination of commanders.
This incident occurred against the backdrop of escalating regional conflicts. Since February 28, the United States and Israel have launched large-scale military operations against Iran, resulting in the deaths of several senior officials, including the then Supreme Leader Khamenei. In response, Iran has carried out retaliatory strikes against Israeli targets.
