Israel claims to have killed more senior members of Iran's leadership; we ask what the death of security chief Ali Larijani could mean for the war. Also in the programme: in the Afghan capital Kabul, dozens of people have been killed in an airstrike on a drug treatment centre, which the Taliban government has blamed on Pakistan; why is one of the world's most influential tech billionaires in Rome lecturing about the Antichrist? And we hear about the endearing qualities of a newly discovered subatomic particle.

  • Let us start in Iran, where Israel says it has killed Tehran's security chief Ali Larijani, one of the most senior figures in the Islamic Republic.

  • Iran has not confirmed his death, but Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made this televised statement.

  • This morning we eliminated Ali Larijani.

  • Ali Larijani is the boss of the Revolutionary Guards, which is a gang of gangsters that in practice run Iran.

  • Alongside him, we also eliminated the commander of the Basij, the helpers of the gangsters,

  • who spread terror in the streets of Tehran and other Iranian cities against the population.

  • We are undermining this regime in the hope of giving the Iranian people an opportunity to remove it.

  • This will not happen all at once.

  • And it will not happen easily.

  • But if we persist, we will give them an opportunity to take their fate into their own hands.

  • Well, Ali Larijani was a close ally of the former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed on the first day of US-Israeli strikes on Iran
