Geopolitical Realignment Following the Death of Ali Larijani (warontherocks.com)

• Elimination of the regime's key operational coordinator.
• Significant leadership degradation following Khamenei's death.
• Escalation of regional kinetic operations against Iranian leadership.

"The targeted killing of Ali Larijani, Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, signifies a critical fracture in the Iranian regime. Serving as the primary coordinator following the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, Larijani’s removal disrupts the core decision-making apparatus of the state. This loss occurs amidst an intense U.S.-Israeli offensive, further destabilizing the regime's internal command and control structures."
