Israel has killed top Iranian leaders, including security chief Ali Larijani and Gholamreza Soleimani, commander of the Basij, in airstrikes. The February 28 US-Israeli strikes have triggered a retaliation, with a missile-drone exchange still ongoing in the Gulf region.
Iran has vowed a 'decisive' retaliation for the death of its top officials, with the country firing off a wave of missiles at Israel. A barrage of Iranian missiles killed two people near Tel Aviv, while Gulf nations intercepted rockets and drones headed for targets including US bases.
The killings are the latest blows to the already-punctured Iranian leadership, which received its first major jolt in the current war with US-Israel on February 28, when Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in the joint strikes.
