Iran's military leadership has suffered a major blow after Israel claimed it eliminated one of the country's most senior security figures in a series of targeted airstrikes, a development that could significantly affect Iran's leadership and increase tensions in the region.
The strike reportedly hit a site in Tehran where senior officials were believed to be. Al Larijani, the official targeted, was an important figure connecting Iran's political decisions with its military actions and has also been involved in regional diplomacy.
