According to sources cited by Reuters, two senior Iranian officials, including Defense Minister Amir Nasirzadeh and the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard, Mohammed Pakpour, are said to have been killed in Israeli attacks carried out on Saturday against Iran. The information has not been officially confirmed by Iranian authorities. Additionally, Israel is assessing the possibility that Iran's supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, may have been killed in an Israeli strike, but there are no official confirmations. The attacks, part of a coordinated operation by the US and Israel, mark a significant escalation of tensions in the Middle East, coming after repeated warnings from Washington and Jerusalem regarding actions against Iran's nuclear and missile programs.
