Ali Larijani, a close confidant of former Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and one of the country's most senior officials, was killed by Israel in a missile strike on Monday. A philosopher-turned-security chief, Larijani was at the heart of Iran's response to the United States-Israeli war. We dive deeper into who he was, and why he mattered.
We also go to Qeshm island, once known as an "open-air geological museum" for its surreal rock formations, but now in the spotlight for what lies beneath: Iran's underground missile cities.
And the Strait of Hormuz also remains a key flashpoint. Tehran says the waterway is open to all except the US and its allies. We take a look at which countries' ships are being allowed to pass through, and which nations are reported to be negotiating for safe passage.
From the ancient tomb of Erythras to its modern 'Missile Cities', the Gulf's largest island has become the strategic anchor of the US-Israel war on Iran.
