EXCLUSIVE

Israeli official says tip from Tehran residents helped enable Larijani strike

Mar 17, 2026, 14:59 GMT+0

"The assassination of Larijani was made possible thanks to valuable intelligence that Israeli intelligence services received from residents of Tehran over the past 24 hours," an Israeli official told Iran International.

"In recent days, Larijani had behaved arrogantly, appearing frequently in public (including at Quds Day rallies), engaging with both local and international media, and thereby exposing himself to public view, which ultimately led to his identification," the official said.

The Israeli official added that the country's intelligence services continue to receive numerous reports that "precisely guide them to the locations of Basij and IRGC checkpoints, significantly aiding their efforts."
