Two top Iranian officials were killed overnight in separate targeted strikes, marking a major escalation in the ongoing Middle East conflict. Supreme National Security Council Secretary Ali Larijani, who assumed interim command following Ayatollah Khamenei's February 2026 death, and Basij commander Gholamreza Soleimani, known for suppressing domestic protests since 2009, were both eliminated in a coordinated U.S.-Israel intelligence operation. Video footage broadcast on Fox News from Tel Aviv showed the strikes, including intercepted Hezbollah rockets and President Trump’s comments on pursuing a diplomatic deal amid Iranian disinformation.
