Which Iranian security chief was killed in Israeli air strikes?

• A. Qasem Soleimani
• B. Ali Shamkhani
• C. Mohsen Fakhrizadeh
• D. Ari Larijani

Answer: (D)

The person connected with an Israeli operation against Iran is Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, who led Iran’s nuclear program. He was assassinated in 2020 near Tehran in an attack widely attributed to Israel. This distinguishes him from the others listed: Qasem Soleimani was killed by a U.S. drone strike in Iraq in 2020, while Ali Shamkhani and Ari Larijani are prominent Iranian officials who were not killed. So the correct name is Mohsen Fakhrizadeh.
