Iran has launched retaliatory strikes against Israel and the United States in response to the killing of its security chief, Ali Larijani, in a series of airstrikes. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has reportedly targeted over 100 military and security targets in Israeli territories in retaliation. The IRGC also launched a combined drone and missile attack in Tel Aviv and areas in central Israel. The attacks come after Israel killed Larijan, the head of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, and Gholamreza Soleimani, the leader of a militia aligned with the IRGC. The conflict has escalated since the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran on February 28 and has seen no signs of deescalating.
