Iranian Defence Leadership Reportedly Killed in Israeli Airstrikes

Israeli airstrikes have reportedly killed Iran’s Defence Minister Amir Nasirzadeh and senior Revolutionary Guards commander Mohammed Pakpour, according to multiple regional and military-linked sources. The strikes, part of a broader escalation between Israel and Iran, targeted high-level military figures and strategic sites across the country. 

Sources familiar with the operation indicated that both officials were believed to be inside facilities struck during the attacks. While Iranian authorities have not issued formal confirmation, the reported deaths mark a significant blow to Iran’s military leadership at a time of heightened regional tensions.

The attacks form part of a wider campaign that has included strikes on multiple Iranian cities and military installations, reflecting a rapidly intensifying conflict with potential implications for regional stability.
