Ali Larijani, Iran's security chief, was killed in a targeted strike by Israel, with Tehran confirming his assassination on Tuesday.

Larijani was Israel's number one target after the killing of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and his killing is a major blow to the Iranian power structure.

According to reports, Larijani was tracked down by Israeli intelligence services with the help of valuable intelligence from Tehran residents, who had been monitoring his movements over the past 24 hours.

Larijani had been constantly moving and changing his locations for the last two weeks, but his frequent appearances in public, including at Quds Day rallies, may have led to his identification and subsequent assassination.

The killing of Larijani has sparked a vow of revenge from Iran's new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, who has promised to take action against those responsible.

The Middle East tensions have flared up further after Larijani's killing, with Tehran vowing to take revenge by striking US facilities in the region.
