Sticking to the same agenda and showing no signs of de-escalation, the Iranian regime has promoted two senior Iranian terrorists wanted by INTERPOL for the 1994 AMIA bombing that killed 85 people. These are Ahmad Vahidi, now commander of the Revolutionary Guards, and Mohsen Rezaei, now senior military advisor to Iran’s supreme leader.

Larijani assassination: Expert explains why the Israeli strike is equivalent to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s death
By essentially wiping out Iran’s leadership, Israel continues its strikes, weakening the Iranian regime in the era following Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s death. Israel reportedly killed four officials, one of whom was Ali Larijani, Iran’s security chief, who was considered the de facto coordinator of Iranian strategy after the destabilization of the supreme leadership and the regime’s No. 2, under Mojtaba Khamenei.
Foreign affairs columnist and author Tim Marshall, speaking to Sky News, argued that Larijani’s assassination is “probably as significant” as the assassination of supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. “Larijani was running the show with the Revolutionary Guards. I think the clerics are being pushed aside,” he told Sky News.
Iran, after Israel’s announcement of Larijani’s death, published a handwritten note claiming to be from Larijani – an apparent denial of his death. In reality, however, as the expert comments, Tehran has not provided any evidence proving he is alive.
“Larijani was the man who appeared on television 24 hours after the supreme leader’s assassination,” he added, wanting to show the position he held in the regime the day after Khamenei’s death.
The expert also noted that Iran has not provided sufficient evidence that either Mojtaba Khamenei is alive.

“I think the balance of probabilities is that something unpleasant has happened to both,” he said. Regarding Larijani, he further noted that he estimates it will not be a turning point for war de-escalation.
“He’s a hardliner, but he’s also a pragmatic hardliner. He’s not a vicious circle. So if he goes, what you’re left with is, I think, full control of the IRGC (Revolutionary Guards). I think the clerics have really been sidelined,” he stated.
“Larijani comes from a very wealthy clerical family and was very close to the late supreme leader. So he was one of the last links to the clerical side,” he emphasized.
