Israel's defence minister says Iran's security chief Ali Larijani killed
Israel says it has killed Iran's top security chief in an overnight strike. Ali Larijani was one of Iran's most powerful decision-makers. If the death is confirmed by Tehran, he would be the latest top official killed by Israel since the war began. Besides Larijani, the attack is also said to have killed Gholamreza Soleimani - the head of the Basij, Iran’s paramilitary force. James Dorsey from Nanyang Technological University shares his insights.
