Israel announced it killed two senior Iranian security officials, Ali Larijani and Gen. Gholam Reza Soleimani, in overnight strikes, marking a significant blow to Iran’s leadership. This follows the earlier death of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in an airstrike. Both Larijani and Soleimani were instrumental in suppressing protests against Iran’s government. In response, Iran launched missile and drone attacks on Gulf Arab neighbors and oil infrastructure, intensifying fears of a global energy crisis. The conflict has disrupted air travel in Dubai and heightened tensions over the strategic Strait of Hormuz. Israel also increased military actions against Iran-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon. This ongoing conflict poses a major challenge to Iran’s leadership and has significant implications for regional stability and global energy supplies.
