TEHRAN: (HRNW) Iranian state media has officially confirmed the martyrdom of Dr. Morteza Larijani, the son of National Security Secretary Ali Larijani, in the targeted Israeli strike in Tehran.
Described as an “anonymous scientist” and the “proud son” of the senior statesman, Dr. Morteza Larijani was reportedly accompanying his father at the time of the attack, which occurred at approximately 3:30 AM on the night between Monday and Tuesday. Close sources highlight that while he maintained a low public profile, he was a dedicated researcher and a valued member of Iran’s scientific community.
The strike also claimed the lives of a senior assistant and Gholamreza Soleimani, the Commander of the Basij Force. This coordinated operation marks a significant escalation in regional tensions, targeting both high-level political leadership and emerging scientific talent within the Islamic Republic.
