Israel says Iran's security chief Ali Larijani has been killed in strike
Israel says it has killed Iran's security chief Ali Larijani, saying he was effectively Iran's top leader. His death, if confirmed, would be a "massive body blow" to the regime, says Jeremy Bowen.
The commander of the Basij militia, Gholamreza Soleimani, was also killed in an overnight strike, Israel said. The much-feared militia is a plain-clothes section of Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corp, which was involved in the brutal crackdown of anti-government protests earlier this year.

I ask God Almighty to grant these dear martyrs the highest ranks.
Israel's number one target: How the IDF assassinated Iranโs โde-facto leaderโ Ali Larijani
Ali Larijani, Israel's number one target after Khameneiโs assassination, was tracked and killed by the IDF after weeks of evading detection.
Ali Larijani was Israel's number one target after assassinating Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on February 28, The Jerusalem Post has learned.
Massive intelligence and operational resources were poured into locating him, according to senior defense sources.
However, Larijani was not easy to locate. He is an experienced hand at avoiding detection and took a number of precautions to delay and avoid being located by Israel.
For one, he was constantly moving to different secret locations throughout the last two weeks, said defense sources.
The sources added that the extent of the precautions Larijani took to stay out of Israel's crosshairs for two weeks also shows how deeply hunted the surviving top Iranian leadership feels.
IDF also assassinates Basij leader
This goes along with the national leader of the Basij, who was found and assassinated in makeshift tents in his attempt to avoid detection at an actual official Basij headquarters.
"Special capabilities" which tracked Larijani, along with a fast decision by IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir and the political echelon made the assassination possible.
Connecting the intelligence with the top decision-makers who then quickly ordered air force fighter jets out on a new critical mission 1,600 kilometers away paved the way for the operational success, defense sources stated.
Once again, in the same evening, Larijani was killed, and top officials of the Basij were killed, at completely different locations, without missing a beat.
All this took place in distant Iran, which is far more challenging than carrying out snap decisions attacks in multiple places in Gaza or Lebanon which are only minutes away by aircraft.
