Iran War Live Updates: Iran Launches Missile Attack on Tel Aviv in Retaliation for Latest Killings​

Iranian state media confirmed the killings of Ali Larijani, who had served as Iran’s de facto leader recently, and a militia commander late Tuesday. Airstrikes rocked the Lebanese capital early Wednesday.

Israel delivered double blows to the upper echelons of Iran’s leadership on Tuesday, killing Ali Larijani, the head of the country’s Supreme National Security Council, and Brig. Gen. Gholamreza Soleimani, the leader of a powerful plainclothes militia aligned with the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps.

The Israeli military said Mr. Larijani had been killed in overnight airstrikes near Tehran. A close confidant of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the supreme leader who was killed at the start of the war on Feb. 28, Mr. Larijani became Iran’s de facto leader before the ayatollah’s son Mojtaba Khamenei succeeded his father.

Presumably, if it gets the attention of the New York Times:

In Iran, gay men and lesbians can be punished by public flogging and the death penalty. As a result, the United Nations Human Rights Council found, many gay and lesbian Iranians who are not trans are “pressured into undergoing gender reassignment surgery without their free consent.” ("Iran Lures Trangender Foreigners for Surgery but Forces Operations on Locals", Oct. 11, 2025)​
