Iran announced the appointment of Hossein Dehghan as Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, succeeding Ali Larijani, who was killed by Israel in Tehran. Larijani, 67, died in an Israeli airstrike that targeted his daughter’s home, where he was present with his son and aide. Larijani was an influential figure within the Iranian system, having held numerous key positions, and had been criticized by Washington for his role in suppressing recent protests.
