ALBAWABA - The Israeli army said it targeted Iran's security chief, Ali Larijani, during yesterday's attacks on Tehran, Reuters reported, citing Israeli media.

Ali Larijani, 67, serves as secretary of the Supreme National Security Council and is considered one of the most prominent figures in Iran's political and security apparatus.

This comes amid loud explosions in Iran's capital on Tuesday, an AFP journalist revealed amid non-stop war with the U.S. and Israel.

In addition, Bloomberg reported, citing a source, that a liquefied gas tanker flying the flag of Kuwait sustained damage after being struck by drone debris near the UAE's Fujairah.
