Ali Larijani was defined as the number one target after Khamenei. Extensive intelligence and operational efforts were made to locate him. He behaved like a wanted target in every respect – never stayed in the same place and had exceptionally high security awareness. This reflects the level of alertness and suspicion that the regime in Iran had reached. In the end, a combination of special capabilities, along with quick decision‑making at the political level and by the Chief of Staff, led to his elimination. A rapid decision was made to scramble aircraft and launch the operation. The main story is the intelligence alert and the ability to make real‑time decisions. It’s quite astounding when you think that closing such a loop involves scrambling planes to Iran—it’s not exactly around the corner like Lebanon or Gaza.
