Pro-Iranian channels are circulating reports that a senior Israeli security official was killed by Iranian operatives during a ground operation inside Israel.

Iranian state media has officially confirmed the death of senior politician Ali Larijani and his son in an Israeli airstrike on a residence in the Pardis area. The assassination occurs amid an ongoing wave of intense Israeli military strikes across Iran.

Farsi-language Telegram channels are amplifying claims from Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz that Iranian official Ali Larijani has been assassinated. Iranian state media has denied the reports, prompting mockery from opposition-leaning channels over the state's history of covering up high-profile deaths.
