Following Israel’s official confirmation of the elimination of Ali Larijani, reports and footage emerging from Iran show widespread, spontaneous celebrations among the local population.
Larijani, who served as the top advisor to the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and was widely considered the de facto leader of Iran during the current war, was killed in recent Israeli precision strikes targeting the regime's senior security apparatus.
Celebrations in the Streets of Tehran
Footage recently released from Tehran captures a scene reminiscent of the public reaction following the death of Ali Khamenei. In the clips, Iranian citizens can be heard whistling in joy, cheering, and shouting jeers at the regime.
- Public Sentiment: Residents are seen celebrating the end of a man they describe as a "murderer," signaling a deep rift between the Iranian people and the Ayatollah leadership.
- Defiance: Despite the heavy presence of internal security forces, the celebrations have been described as "not so hidden," as citizens take to windows and streets to mark the fall of one of the regime's most powerful figures.
