Iran Security Chief Ali Larijani Killed In Strike, Claims Israel
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has claimed that Iran's security chief, Ali Larijani, was killed in an air strike on Tehran.
There was no evidence presented to back up the claim.
Iran appeared to try and refute the statement, showing what it said it was a handwritten note by Larijani from March 17. A photo of the note was also posted on Larijani's X account.
The news on Larijani came just after the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) claimed they had killed Gholamreza Soleimani, commander of Iran's paramilitary Basij force, in the same wave of air strikes on Tehran on March 16.
"Yesterday, the IDF targeted & eliminated Gholamreza Soleimani, who operated as commander of the Basij unit for the past 6 years," it said in the claim, made on March 17.
That report has been neither denied nor confirmed by Iranian authorities.

Two remained behind in Australia as rights advocates raised fresh concerns that some team members were returning home under intense government pressure.
