Israel killed Larijani hoping to ‘torpedo’ chance of US-Iran talks
Why it matters: It spikes Middle‑East tensions and dashes hopes for a US‑Iran diplomatic breakthrough.
- Israel carried out the assassination of senior security chief Ali Larijani, according to multiple reports.
- Marwan Bishara argues the strike is a deliberate strategy to prolong the war and sabotage any forthcoming US‑Iran negotiations.
- Iran confirmed Larijani’s death and warned that Israel now intends to target the incoming Supreme Leader, heightening regional stakes.
Israel’s covert killing of Iran’s security chief, Ali Larijani, is being framed as a calculated move to derail looming US‑Iran talks and push the region toward regime change, while Tehran confirms the assassination and warns Israel is now eyeing the new Supreme Leader.
