Initial reports suggest Israeli strikes in Iran may have eliminated Ali Larijani, among the most powerful figures in Iran’s terror regime and Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, along with senior Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror leaders.
The IDF confirms it killed Basij commander Gholamreza Soleimani in an overnight strike in Iran. The strike also killed the Basij deputy commander and other senior officials.
The IDF Chief of Staff signaled the broader context this morning, saying Israeli forces are achieving “significant counterterror gains” inside Iran, including recent elimination strikes against figures tied to the Palestinian arena — suggesting a wider campaign targeting Iran’s proxy network at its source.
Palestinian Islamic Jihad is an Iran-backed terrorist organization, funded and directed by Tehran and responsible for repeated attacks on Israeli civilians.
