Ali Larijani

Ali Larijani's life resists easy summary, and that is precisely what draws me to it. A philosopher trained at Sharif University of Technology, born in Najaf, who spent decades near the center of Iran's security establishment, he embodied the tension between contemplation and raw statecraft. Whatever one thinks of his politics, twice holding the Supreme National Security Council portfolio in such a volatile era demanded a rare blend of intellect and nerve. His assassination in 2026 ended that balancing act violently, which I find genuinely sobering. I keep returning to the image of a man who read philosophy while managing crises; history will argue over him for a long time.
