00:00The killing of Ali Larijani, Iran's Supreme National Security Council Secretary,
00:05will not deal a fatal blow to the country's leadership.
00:08Speaking to Al Jazeera after Tehran confirmed Larijani's death,
00:12Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Arachi says both the United States and Israel
00:17have yet to understand that Iran's system does not depend on any single individual.
00:24He stressed that while individuals play important roles,
00:27the system itself remained intact.
00:30Arachi pointed to the earlier assassination of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei,
00:35who was killed on the first day of U.S.-Israeli strikes on February 28.
00:40He said despite the scale of that loss, the system continued to function.
00:46Larijani was a close ally of the late Khamenei and his son and successor, Mojtabah Khamenei.
00:51His death marks the most senior loss in Iran's leadership
00:55since the opening airstrikes of the war 19 days ago.
00:59Meanwhile, Iranian state media has also confirmed the killing of Brigadier General Gholamreza Soleimani,
01:05head of the besieged forces, a paramilitary unit within the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
