Israeli authorities previously stated that Larijani was killed during a missile strike that occurred on the night of March 17.
Ali Larijani was an important figure in Iranian politics, being second only to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. He is also referred to as one of the architects of Iran's nuclear program.
According to intelligence reports, Larijani was in hiding when Israel launched the strike. A source from the Israeli N12 television channel in the security services noted that he had "no chance of survival" after the attack.
The assassination has raised serious concerns among Iranian officials regarding their own security and the future of the country, as reported by The New York Times. Politicians in Tehran are expressing alarm and questioning who might be the next target of Israel, the publication claims.
