Israel has targeted senior Iranian official Ali Larijani in an overnight airstrike inside Iran, according to Israeli officials.

However, it is not yet clear whether Larijani, who serves as secretary of Iran’s Security Council, was killed or injured in the strike. There has been no immediate confirmation from Iranian authorities. 

The Iran war is on its 18th day today.  Ali Larijani on Monday penned a note to Muslim countries, questioning their lack of support for Tehran as the US-Israeli war enters its third week with no clear end in sight. The conflict has disrupted global energy supplies and raised fears of a spike in global inflation.
