Israel announced on Tuesday that its military has killed Iran’s top security official Ali Larijani and Basij commander Gholamreza Soleimani in recent overnight strikes. Defense Minister Israel Katz confirmed the deaths, stating that these operations have further weakened the Iranian leadership following the death of former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in late February.
As the conflict continues, Iran’s nationwide internet blackout has reached its 18th day, leaving the population largely disconnected from the world. Amidst this, reports citing Reuters suggest that Iran’s new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, has rejected peace proposals, claiming that “it is not the right time for peace.” However, US President Donald Trump stated on Monday that the United States is uncertain about Mojtaba Khamenei’s status, noting reports that he may be severely injured or even dead, as he hasn’t made a public appearance since assuming the role.
