Dubai, March 17
Israel’s Defence Minister said on Tuesday that Iran’s top security official and the head of the Revolutionary Guard’s Basij militia were killed in overnight strikes. Meanwhile, Tehran has continued launching fresh missile and drone attacks on its Gulf Arab neighbours and Israel.
In a statement, the Israeli Defence Minister claimed that security official Ali Larijani and General Ghulam Reza Soleimani were “eliminated last night.” However, Iranian state media has not immediately confirmed their deaths, though it said a statement from Larijani’s office would be released soon.
Earlier, Israel’s military had announced that it carried out “extensive strikes” in Iran’s capital and intensified attacks against Iran-backed Hezbollah militants in Lebanon.
It is also reported that Iran’s 86-year-old Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in an airstrike on February 28, during the first day of the conflict initiated by the United States and Israel. Since then, several top leaders of Iran’s clerical establishment have reportedly been killed.
