Tensions in the Middle East have escalated further after Iran confirmed the deaths of senior figures, including Basij Force commander Gholam Reza Soleimani and top official Ali Larijani. Following this, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has issued a strong warning to both United States and Israel. The IRGC заявил that the deaths of these leaders will not weaken Iran but instead strengthen its resolve. It has vowed to take revenge, stating that the killing of Iranian leaders will double their commitment and intensify their military strategy. Iranian state media has officially confirmed the deaths, which were earlier being claimed by Israel. The loss of Ali Larijani, considered one of the most powerful figures in Iran after Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, is seen as a major blow. In response, Iran has indicated that future attacks will be carried out with greater intensity, raising fears of an even more severe and prolonged conflict in the region.
