You know that perfect karma moment when a regime loudmouth taunts President Trump with memes and big talk about “making you sorry,” only to get vaporized by Israeli precision strikes just days later? That’s exactly what happened to Ali Larijani — Iran’s de facto leader and second only to the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
In what is arguably the biggest elimination of Operation Epic Fury since Khamenei himself was taken out, Larijani, Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, has been confirmed eliminated in an Israeli airstrike. The IDF announced it directly: “Ali Larijani, Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council and the regime’s effective leader, has been eliminated.”

Larijani wasn’t just any figure — he personally commanded the brutal crackdown on anti-regime protesters in early 2026, an operation that reportedly killed up to 40,000 people. He had recently been parading around in public surrounded by civilians as human shields, with his supporters calling it a “show of strength.” So much for that.
For weeks, Larijani trolled the United States online, posting memes during the dignified transfer of fallen Americans and openly threatening President Trump. Just five days ago he posted this:
“Trump says he is looking for a speedy victory. While starting a war is easy, it cannot be won with a few tweets. We will not relent until making you sorry for this grave miscalculation. #TrumpMustPay”

The internet is already roasting the irony with side-by-side memes showing Larijani’s tough talk next to news of his elimination.

Larijani wasn’t the only major target hit in the last 24 hours. IRGC Basij commander Gholamreza Soleimani and his entire senior leadership team were also wiped out in a separate strike. The Basij — the regime’s street-level enforcers who mowed down protesters — are now leaderless. Reducing their power is key to creating space for the Iranian people to rise up again.
The last 24 hours have been a devastating success for the United States and Israel. Iran’s military capabilities are in ruins, its top leaders keep earning expiration dates, and the regime is visibly crumbling. “Cardboard Mojtaba” is still in hiding, and anyone stepping up to lead gets the same treatment.
Wars aren’t won with tweets and memes — Larijani just learned that the hard way. The mullahs’ days are numbered, and the Iranian people are watching.
