Iran’s Defence Minister Amir Nasirzadeh and Revolutionary Guards commander Mohammed Pakpour are believed to have been killed in Israeli attacks on Saturday, three sources familiar with military operations and regional intelligence told Reuters. Tehran has yet to comment publicly on the status of the two senior officials.
The strikes come amid a major joint offensive by Israel and the United States against Iranian targets, which has escalated hostilities in the Middle East and drawn global concern. Explosions have been reported in multiple Iranian cities, including the capital Tehran, as part of the campaign that reportedly targeted top military and political figures.
More details awaited
