Iran - Israel/US War: Israel-US declare war on Iran, Iran responds

There are a series of moles in the government not just one key one. Or it can be something as simple as a bodyguard carrying his cell phone on him or leaving it to close to the safe house.

Nonetheless if the news is true and he was killed at his home, it’s once again the simple reason of not taking protection seriously


Maybe unsensitive to say but at least one worry less for security iranian aparatus.
Iranians should enforce security protocols on figures like this against their will maybe those figures are modest and humble per religious teachings but they make bigger harm behaving like that when facing ruthless and technologically super advanced enemy.
 
Iran should seize the opportunity to disrupt the supply of ammunition to Israel and the United States in the Middle East, paralyzing their industries and arsenals. The goal is to extend the enemy's supply lines.
Don't let the enemy catch their breath. Since you have a revenge plan, you must be determined to destroy the enemy.
 
Netanyahu is taking OPSEC seriously unlike the IRI leadership, and he is using the clumsiness of the IRI to take them out one by one...

If Larijani is indeed replaced by Saeed Jalili you had a more moderate and pragmatic figure replaced with a more conservative and hardline figure.

This “political and military Darwinism” will continue and naturally officials who take OpSec seriously will survive and those who roll the dice of martyrdom will perish. In the end it will leave behind a more resilient efficient leadership.

  • Israeli defense minister says Ali Larijani, top Iranian security official, killed by Israel in overnight strike
JERUSALEM: Israel's Defense Minister Israel Katz ‌said ‌on Tuesday ‌that ⁠Iran's security chief Ali ⁠Larijani had ⁠been ‌killed ‌in an ‌Israeli strike.

“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 -- Iran's central repression apparatus --, were eliminated last night,” Katz said in a statement released by his ministry.

Iranian state media published a handwritten note ‌by ⁠Larijani commemorating Iranian sailors ⁠killed in a US attack whose funeral was expected on Tuesday but there was no immediate comment by Tehran on Katz’s remarks.


Larijani would be the most senior figure assassinated since Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei was killed on the first day of Israeli-US airstrikes on February 28.

Katz said Gholamreza Soleimani, the commander of Iran’s Basij forces, ⁠had also been killed.

The Basij militia is ‌a part-time paramilitary force under the ‌control of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps that is often used to quell ‌protests inside Iran.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said ‌in a statement that the Israeli leader had ordered “the elimination of senior officials of the Iranian regime”.

The US-Israeli war on Iran is in its third week, with at least 2,000 people killed and no end in ‌sight.

There was no let-up in attacks by both sides early on Tuesday, with Iran launching missiles on Israel overnight, underscoring that Tehran retains the capacity to carry out long-range strikes despite more than two weeks of pounding by US and Israeli weapons.

The Israeli military said it was targeting “Iranian regime infrastructure” with a new wave of strikes across Tehran, as well as Hezbollah sites in Beirut, a day after saying it had drawn up detailed plans for at least three more weeks of war with Iran.


This is what Israel claims.
