Iranian government outlets confirmed the passing of Ali Larijani, the nation’s security chief. Israel had previously stated that he perished in an assault that occurred during the night before. Sky News initially reported this tragic event.
Initially, Iran refuted the announcement, swiftly publishing a handwritten message on social media. This document, presented as a statement from Ali Larijani himself, was released just moments after the initial report. The handwritten note offered respect for Iranian naval personnel who lost their lives in an attack carried out by a U.S.
submarine against the warship Dena on March 4th. This incident remains a significant point of contention. The question of who Ali Larijani was – Iran’s defense minister, as Israel claims – is now being addressed.
This marks the first official acknowledgement from Iran regarding Larijani’s death, following their confirmation of the demise of commander Gholamreza Soleimani. Notably, Ali Larijani possessed considerable maritime experience and expertise.
