                <media:description>Iranian mourners gather during the funeral of Iran&apos;s security chief Ali Larijani and Gholamreza Soleimani, a senior officer in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps who commands Basij forces, in Tehran on March 18, 2026. After crowds gathered in central Tehran for the funeral of Iran&apos;s security chief Ali Larijani, Iran&apos;s new supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei declared in a written message that his killers would pay. Larijani&apos;s funeral was held alongside those of Gholamreza Soleimani, the head of the Basij paramilitary force who was also killed in a strike in Iran this week, and dozens of Iranian sailors who were killed when US forces torpedoed their frigate off Sri Lanka earlier this month.
