Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said on 17 March that Ali Larijani, secretary of Iran’s National Security Council, had been killed in an Israeli airstrike. He was the de facto leader of Iran.
According to Channel 12, an operation to kill Larijani was planned for the night of Sunday to Monday, but the strike was postponed at the last minute. On Monday afternoon, information emerged that Larijani was due to arrive at one of his apartments, where he had been hiding. It is reported that he was there with his son.
Immediately after the strike, a source within the security service told the broadcaster, “There was no chance that he survived this attack.”
Larijani is the man who just recently threatened President Trump with a thinly veiled threat. “The sacrificial nation of Iran doesn’t fear your empty threats,” security chief Ali Larijani wrote in a defiant post on X on Tuesday in response to Mr. Trump’s Truth Social post. “Even those bigger than you couldn’t eliminate Iran. Be careful not to get eliminated yourself.”
President Trump has already shown he is willing to give his life for his country.
The Basij commander is also dead.
The IDF also reported that Gholamreza Soleimani, commander of the Basij volunteer paramilitary formation, was killed in a “precision strike” in Tehran.
Ali Larijani was a right-hand man of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and was considered one of the regime’s leading figures after Khamenei’s death, the Times of Israel notes.
THIS IS HUGE
Israel just killed Gholamreza Soleimani, the commander of the Basij.
That’s the main Iranian regime agency responsible for domestic repression.

Fire your headline writer.
You’re right Uncle Al, the headline wasn’t clear.
When the Mouse-That-Roared believes it can outlast one of the world’s powers, they are proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that they so delusions they would rather have all their people killed than knuckle under and take their place as just another third world shit hole
The country directly to the east of Iran just outlasted the US for 20 years. Short memory?
Allahu Akbar! Orange Man Bad, we Iranians are going to wipe you ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss…………………………
This reminds me of that drone video of a wounded Sinwar sitting atop a pile of rubble inside a bombed out Gazan building, holding a hand gun with an AK-47 nearby, weakly trying to throw a piece of wood at the drone. He was a “tough guy” Jihadi, right to the end. At this point, that’s what these Iranian tin-pot tyrants look like as they sit atop of their Islamic rubble in Iran, still waving their fists and threatening the world. It’s as if they haven’t come to grip yet with their new reality, due to the lightening quick tempo of the combat operation. They believe they still stand upon rock, inside an impenetrable “fortress Iran”, when in fact, they stand defenseless and powerless on a beach atop sand, with the evening tides washing them away.
Forgive me, but the arrogance in your comment is what leads to forever wars. Afghanistan & Iraq seem to be distant memories to your thinking.
Gholamreza, short for bomb me next..what a putz.
He WAS a putz! And now he’s a putz with 72 virgin goats, the lucky Jihadi!!
Death to Amer…. BOOM!
Do unto others before they can do unto you. 🙂
As Trump called them “deranged scumbags” it’s the only way to bring peace.
This is how democrats should be treated
i didn’t [right] this – FACT: Democrats don’t want anything fixed. They are not about making the citizens whole! It’s about a continued ‘equal’ share of misery, suffering, higher taxes, more division, lower education, fear, anger, identity politics, defunding open borders, law enforcement, emboldening criminal behavior, encouraging dependency, divisiveness, hate, chaos, the continued promise of Utopia that never happens, just the same old politics. More spending, more taxes, more pay for play. And then they blame the Republicans for the mess that Democrats created.
Batter up!!!!
are we sure iran are the bad guys? killing non combatants and their children seems like something the bad guys would do …
If it helps, his son was an adult being groomed for a high position.
When you read that Larijani’s son was with him, try to erase any western imagery of a father and son sitting by a pond with a fishing pole. His son was likely in his 20s/30s and learning Dad’s trade craft. He was next in line. Now he’s not. Be thankful.
Did you even READ the piece? If you did, you wouldn’t be trying to make choir boys out of these sub-humans.
This clown was in charge of the “Basij”, which is the main Iranian regime agency responsible for domestic repression, as in butchering THOUSANDS of civilians.
If you weren’t sure after 9/11 and the hundreds of muzzieSCUM attacks on innocent people in America since then . . . maybe think about staying out of elections.
Satan is being destroyed.
No bibi is still alive.. You zionist love war and death. i don’t understand how you support such evil but then deflect that evil at others. It’s some pretty wild mental gymnastics i’m impressed.
no more wars ❌
no more trillion dollar deficits ❌
We’re going to deport all illegals❌
we’re going to arrest the deep state ❌
Were going to use doge to stop fraud ❌
I’ll stop the wars day one❌
It was all lies but you zionist got your war and that’s all that matters right?? Christ is king!!!
Oh, right. It’s “the Ju’s”……always, “the Ju’s”…
Get a life.
Oh, and in the English language, the pronoun “I” is always capitalized.
“Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than open it and remove all doubt.”
Hey I’m a zionist as well as a patriotic American. So, I don’t know where a moron like you gets the idea that us zionists love war and death. Actually, asshole. . . if you leave us alone, we’ll leave you alone. Unlike your fellow muzzieSCUM who if we leave you muzzieSCUM alone . . . you will kill us for not believing in your god of pedophilia, rape, murder, slavery & eternal war.
The bow of Elam is being broken, obliterated. Also, Iran has been experiencing a drought of Biblical proportion. The people of Tehran will be scattered to every place on earth. Absolutely amazing times we are experiencing.
Burn in hell b*tch.
Sleep well with the 72 goats!
you can kick the can down the road but it’s not going away… our biggest threat is china & taking out maduro & illegal venezuelan & iranian oil prevents china from using slave labor to flood the world with cheap products while also bankrupting their industries… now they can’t attack taiwan & support the socialist paradises of n korea & cuba… also lowering oil prices will benefit america & choke off russia…
Ok now what? Did ya have a plan on the power vacume Donny? Just asking for my un wanted future grocery bill and fuel down grade.
Anything is better than the 47 years of terror and death that the former Iranian leadership has served up. Maybe you need to do more research as the new Iranian government under the crown prince is already forming and ready to step in soon. The world is a far safer place right now than a few weeks ago.
Somebody has a raging case of TDS – the lies in your post are a dead giveaway.
What “lies” in Gwendy’s post do you refer to? And since when does TRUTH = TDS? This isn’t just about oil and rising gasoline prices. About 30% of all fertilizer flows through the strait of Hormuz. The global food system is a MIRACLE of modern logistics and chemistry. Eight billion people fed daily through complex supply chains spanning continents, dependent on synthetic fertilizer produced from natural gas and shipped through the strait. It’s also insanely FRAGILE. One major disruption = cascading failures within months. We’ve lived with this fragility for 50+ years and have gotten away with it but our luck is running out. The Strait of Hormuz is 21 miles wide. The margin between civilization and famine is even narrower.
The next few years are going to be brutal. Don’t say you weren’t warned.
