Irans Security Chief Ali Larijani reportedly killed in Israeli strike

Here is a rewritten version of the news article in a neutral newsroom style:

Israel has confirmed that it carried out a strike that resulted in the death of Ali Larijani, Iran’s security chief. The incident occurred during a period of heightened tensions between Israel and Iran.

According to reports, two senior Iranian officials were killed in the attack. The identities of the other official have not been released.

The Israeli government has stated that it carried out the strike as part of its efforts to counter what it perceives as a threat from Iran.

Iranian officials have rejected calls for international assistance in securing the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway that connects the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman. The US had previously urged allies to provide support for maritime security in the region.

The incident has sparked concerns about the potential escalation of tensions between Israel and Iran.
