Iran pledges retaliation after Israeli strike kills top security official

After Israel killed Iran’s top security official Ali Larijani, Tehran vowed retaliation as state media showed damage from a Tehran strike and Israel reported attacks on Basij targets; Iran fired missiles toward Tel Aviv, with casualties in central Israel, while the U.S. and Gulf states monitor the widening escalation and analysts discuss Larijani’s likely successor (notably Saeed Jalili) amid ongoing regional actions and American strikes.

Iran's influential security architect Ali Larijani dies in Israeli strike at 67

Ali Larijani, Iran's longtime top national security official and confidant of Ayatollah Khamenei, was killed in an Israeli airstrike at age 67. He helped seal the 2015 JCPOA, led talks with China, and oversaw a harsh crackdown on protests, while acting as a bridge between Iran's rival power factions. Analysts say his death could push Iran further toward hard-line governance, just as Mojtaba Khamenei was named to a leadership role.

Basij Chief Killed as Iran Faces Intensified US-Israeli Strikes

Brig. Gen. Gholamreza Soleimani, head of Iran’s Basij paramilitary, was killed in the US-Israeli war on Iran, confirmed by the IRGC. A veteran of the Iran-Iraq War, Soleimani led the Basij since 2019 and previously commanded regional units, including the Saheb al-Zaman Corps in Isfahan; his death, along with the reported killing of Ali Larijani, underscores how Iran’s top security figures are being targeted as hostilities intensify and the Basij is repeatedly used to quell domestic unrest.

Israel strikes kill Iran's top intel chief as war widens

An overnight Israeli airstrike killed Ali Larijani, Iran's top intelligence official, as the U.S.-led war on Iran escalates. The event unfolds amid ongoing disputes over whether Iran posed an imminent threat and follows Joe Kent's resignation from the National Counterterrorism Center over the conflict. The broader fallout touches on oil-market moves, potential sanctions relief for Venezuela, Russia's reported backing of Iran, and humanitarian concerns linked to the war and related strikes.

Iran's Power Broker Ali Larijani Killed in Airstrike, Reshaping Tehran's War Calculus

Iran's top security official Ali Larijani, head of the Supreme National Security Council, was reportedly killed in overnight Israeli strikes—a strategic blow that removes a trusted insider who helped shape Iran's nuclear posture, war strategy and potential diplomatic channels. The loss could harden Tehran's resolve and shift power dynamics, though the system is designed to absorb leadership losses; the report also notes the killing of Basij commander Gholamreza Soleimani and related U.S. actions in the broader conflict.

Israel claims hit on Iran's security leadership, killing two top officials

Israel said overnight strikes killed two senior Iranian security officials—Ali Larijani, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, and Gen. Gholam Reza Soleimani, head of the Basij—in what it called a major blow to Tehran’s leadership. Iran retaliated with missiles and drones toward Gulf neighbors and oil infrastructure as regional fighting intensified, with Israel expanding strikes inside Iran and against Hezbollah in Lebanon, underscoring a widening conflict that threatens energy routes like the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump shrugs off Iran’s threats as U.S. strikes push ahead

President Trump dismissed threats from Iran’s top national-security official Ali Larijani in a CBS News interview, saying he 'couldn’t care less' and that U.S. strikes would continue until Iran unconditionally surrenders. He claimed Iran’s military is being decimated and downplayed calls for greater ally involvement. The report also notes Iran’s internal leadership shifts, with an interim three-person council and Pezeshkian’s initial apology for retaliatory strikes followed by a backtrack asserting Iran targeted U.S. bases rather than neighboring states.

Ahmadinejad Registers as Candidate for Iran's June 28 Presidential Election

Former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and other notable figures, including moderate Ali Larijani and ultraconservative Saeed Jalili, have registered to run in the upcoming presidential election following the death of President Ebrahim Raisi. The Guardian Council will vet the candidates, with the final list to be announced on June 11. Ahmadinejad, previously sidelined, aims to address economic issues and corruption, while Larijani, disqualified in 2021, seeks another chance. Voter turnout remains a significant concern.
