Iran confirms death of national security chief Ali Larijani in Israeli air strike

Tehran, 18/3:Iran has confirmed the death of its powerful national security chief, Ali Larijani, after Israel on Tuesday said he was killed in an air strike and vowed to hunt down and “neutralise” Iran’s new supreme leader Mojtaba Khamene.

The death of Larijani represents a major blow to Iran, whose long-serving leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed less than three weeks ago in US-Israeli strikes that ignited the war in West Asia
