An unprecedented blow to Iran's power structure with the killing of Ali Larijani
The killing of Ali Larijani in Israeli and American attacks intensified regional tensions and provoked global reactions.
As the military conflict between Iran and the US-Israeli coalition continues to escalate, reports indicate that Ali Larijani, a key figure in Iran's security and political structure, has been killed in a targeted airstrike.
According to Israeli officials, the attack was carried out near Tehran as part of a widespread operation against senior officials of the Islamic Republic.
Israeli officials claim that Larijani, as one of the main pillars of Iran's security decision-making, has played a key role in regional policies and internal crisis management.
However, as of the time of writing, Iranian officials have yet to confirm his death. This incident comes as the ongoing war has entered a critical phase and has caused widespread human casualties.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced in a speech: "This morning, we eliminated Ali Larijani. He was the commander and mastermind of the military structure." He considered this action part of an effort to weaken the power structure in Iran.
In response to developments in the Iran war, US President Donald Trump emphasized: "We no longer need or want help from allies." He has also supported continued pressure on Iran.
The European Union's foreign policy chief also stated: "No one is prepared to put their own people at risk."
This position reflects Europe's desire to distance itself from direct military conflict.
While Iran has not yet confirmed Larijani's death, officials have previously stressed that they will not back down and will respond to attacks.
The escalation of violence and the removal of key political figures have raised serious concerns about the future of peace in the region. As tensions continue to escalate, many religious leaders and international institutions are emphasizing the need to return to dialogue, reduce violence, and protect civilian lives.
