Iran has confirmed the death of senior leader Ali Larijani, reportedly killed in a targeted strike amid the intensifying Iran–Israel–US conflict. Larijani, a prominent political figure and former parliamentary speaker, played a key role in Iran’s strategic and diplomatic affairs. His death marks a major escalation, triggering strong reactions from Tehran and raising fears of further retaliation across the region. The development comes alongside ongoing missile and drone exchanges, increasing instability in the Middle East and heightening concerns over a broader regional war and its global geopolitical impact.
