Iranian Supreme National Security Council secretary Ali Larijani and Basij Commander Gholamreza Soleimani have both been killed, according to the Israeli Defense Forces<\/a> and Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz.<\/p>\n

“I have just been updated by the Chief of Staff that Larijani, Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, and the head of the Basij \u2014 Iran\u2019s central repression apparatus \u2014 Salimani, were eliminated last night and have joined Khamenei, the head of the annihilation program, along with all those eliminated from the axis of evil in the depths of hell,” Katz said, according to a translation provided to Fox News by his office.<\/p>\n

The news comes more than two weeks since Israel launched a war against the Islamic Republic of Iran<\/a> in conjunction with U.S. President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

“Ali Larijani, Secretary of Iran\u2019s Supreme National Security Council and the regime\u2019s effective leader, has been eliminated,” the Israel Defense Forces noted in a post<\/a> on X.<\/p>\n

“Throughout the years, Larijani was considered one of the most veteran and senior figures within the Iranian regime leadership, and was a close associate of the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. During the most recent wave of protests against the Iranian terror regime, Larijani personally oversaw the massacre that was carried out against Iranian protestors,” the post added.<\/p>\n

Another IDF post<\/a> noted, “Yesterday, the IDF targeted & eliminated Gholamreza Soleimani, who operated as commander of the Basij unit for the past 6 years. Under Soleimani, the Basij unit led the main repression operations in Iran, employing severe violence, widespread arrests, and the use of force against civilian demonstrators.”<\/p>\n

The U.S. government had previously indicated that it would offer a reward<\/a> for information on Larijani.<\/p>\n

“Rewards for Justice is offering a reward of up to $10 million for information on the key leaders of Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and its component branches,” rewardsforjustice.net<\/u><\/a> notes. “Under this reward offer, RFJ is seeking information on the following individuals,” the webpage notes, listing Larijani and others.<\/p>\n

“Over a dozen Basij officials were targeted in Iran last night in different strikes, including the head of the Basij forces Gholamreza Soleimani. This was a joint U.S. and Israeli effort,” a senior Israeli official noted. “A strike in Tehran targeted the Basij commander and around a dozen others, including the most senior figures in the Basij forces\u2014people with a lot of blood on their hands.”<\/p>\n
