Which key Iranian figures have been killed in US-Israeli strikes?

 

U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran have killed several senior political and military figures, hitting the Islamic Republic's core leadership as the ​regional war disrupts energy markets and global shipping.
Below ​are some of the most prominent figures killed:
SUPREME LEADER *Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who as Supreme Leader since 1989 built an iron grip over Iran while entrenching hostility towards the U.S. and Israel, was killed aged 86 in a U.S.-Israeli air strike on his compound on February 28.
His more than three-decade rule was marked by consolidation of power through the security apparatus, and expansion of Iran's regional influence, even as tensions over its nuclear programme repeatedly brought it ⁠into confrontation with the West.
SENIOR OFFICIALS *Ali Larijani, secretary of the Supreme National Security Council and a veteran powerbroker, was ⁠killed at 67 in a U.S.-Israeli air strike in the Pardis area on March 17, along with his son and one of his deputies, Iranian media reported.
A former Revolutionary Guards commander and nuclear negotiator, he was a close adviser to the slain Supreme Leader and played an important role in ‌shaping Iran's security and foreign policy.
*Esmail Khatib, Iran's intelligence minister, was ​killed in an Israeli strike on ⁠March 18. A hardliner cleric and politician, he worked in Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's office and was mentored ​by him, before heading the civilian intelligence apparatus ‌in August 2021. *Ali Shamkhani, a close adviser to Khamenei and a key figure in Iran's security and nuclear policymaking, was killed in U.S.-Israeli strikes on Tehran on February 28.
He had earlier ​survived an attack on his home during the 12-day June war between Israel and Iran.
