Israel Says It Killed Ali Larijani, Iran's Security Chief Known for Negotiating with the West



How long will the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran last? Regime change in Iran will not be as "easy and quick" as U.S. warmongers may have initially believed, says Iranian American political analyst Trita Parsi. Israel claims that it has successfully assassinated Iran's powerful security chief Ali Larijani, who Parsi says could have played a role in future ceasefire negotiations. "The Israelis have fought so hard to get the United States to go into a full-scale war with Iran for more than 20 years," says Parsi. "It is in their interest to prolong this war as long as they can, and kill off any potential off-ramps that Trump may be looking for."
