Iran has confirmed the death of security chief Ali Larijani hours after Israel announced he had been killed in an overnight airstrike.
Iran, on Tuesday announced Ali Larijani’s death.
The regime initially appeared to deny the report – by posting a handwritten note it claimed was written by the late official on his social media account.
Larijani, Iran’s feared national security chief, was thought by many to have been the de facto leader of the country and the architect of its terror.
Iran’s confirmation of his death comes after it also announced the killing of Basij commander Gholamreza Soleiman.
It comes after Donald Trump lashed out today at Sir Keir Starmer, Emmanuel Macron and the BBC in an extraordinary White House outburst – insisting the US no longer needed NATO allies to help the war in Iran.
Speaking alongside Irish premier Michael Martin, Trump repeated his claim Sir Keir is ‘no Winston Churchill’ and said the Prime Minister made a ‘big mistake’ in his response to US calls for support in the war with Iran, suggesting his effort to strike a UK trade deal ‘probably wasn’t appreciated’.
