Dr. Ali Larijani, a prominent Iranian politician and former Speaker of the Parliament, was martyred in a terrorist attack that has drawn widespread condemnation and mourning across the nation. Known for his academic credentials and long record of service in key positions—including Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council and head of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB)—Larijani was regarded as a pillar of the country’s political and strategic establishment.

Grand Ayatollah Shobeiri Zanjani, one of the most senior Shia jurists in the holy city of Qom, emphasized the late official’s deep connection to the Ahl al-Bayt (the household of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon them) and his upbringing in a family renowned for its scholarly contributions.

The message added that the martyrdom of these servants of the nation serves as yet another reminder of the sacrifices made by the Iranian people and their leadership in the face of ongoing threats and hostilities targeting the country.

Religious authorities, political figures, and citizens across the country have continued to pay tribute to the martyrs, reaffirming their commitment to the principles of the Islamic Revolution and the path of resistance.
