Two members of the paramilitary Revolutionary Guard's aerospace division died in Iran in separate incidents over the weekend, Iranian media reported on Monday.

The deaths of the two men come as tensions remain high over Iran's tattered nuclear deal with world powers, and its uranium enrichment program that is now closest it has ever been to weapons-grade levels. While authorities offered no suggestion of foul play in the men's deaths, Israel has been accused of killing other high-ranking Guard members amid the growing crisis, The Associated Press said.
