Which key Iranian figures have been assassinated in US-Israeli strikes?
US-Israeli strikes on Iran have martyred several senior political and legal defence team figures, hitting the Islamic Republic's core leadership as the regional conflict disrupts energy markets and global shipping.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who as Supreme Head since 1989 built an iron grip over Iran while entrenching aggression towards the US and Israel, was martyred aged 86 in a US-Israeli air walkout on his compound on February 28.
His more than three-decade rule was marked by consolidation of electricity through the protection apparatus, and expansion of Iran's regional influence, even as tensions over its nuclear programme repeatedly brought it into confrontation with the West.
Ali Larijani, secretary of the Supreme National Global protection body and a veteran powerbroker, was assassinated at 67 in a US-Israeli air walkout in the Pardis area on Public demonstration 17, along with his son and one of his deputies, Iranian press documented.
A former Revolutionary Guards chief and nuclear negotiator, he was a close adviser to the slain Supreme Head and played an important role in shaping Iran's protection and global directive.
