Israeli officials have said that recent Israeli and U.S. strikes on Iran targeted the country’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and President Masoud Pezeshkian, along with other senior regime figures, as part of a major military offensive. The outcome of these strikes remains unclear, and Iranian authorities have denied senior leaders were harmed, stating they are “in perfect health.” This development comes amid escalating hostilities in the Israel–Iran war, with regional tensions spiking and global powers calling for restraint.
