17th March 2026
li Larijani, Iran’s top national security official who threatened President Donald Trump’s life after the U.S.-Israeli strikes began, has been killed.
The high-profile elimination marks one of the most significant blows to Tehran’s leadership since the war erupted on Feb. 28, with Israeli officials confirming that Larijani was targeted and killed in a precision strike.
Israel Defense Minister Israel Katz announced the development, calling it a major step in dismantling what he described as Iran’s “axis of evil.”
