Note from Larijani Published After News of His Death

Following the news of the death of Ali Larijani, head of Iran's National Security, a handwritten note from him was published on his official X platform account. The note, written in Persian, refers to the funeral of the sailors of the IRIS Dena frigate and expresses his memory of them, emphasizing that their sacrifices will strengthen the army of the Islamic Republic. The message was published without a date, amid Israeli statements regarding Larijani's assassination in air strikes in Tehran. The publication of the note suggests an attempt to maintain Larijani's image as devoted to the homeland and the army, despite the circumstances of his death. The publication of the message on Larijani's official account, despite the uncertainty surrounding the circumstances of his death, highlights the importance of image and propaganda in the political situation in Iran. This move may aim to boost morale and national unity in times of crisis.
