Claims have surfaced that Iran’s Defense Minister Amir Nasirzadeh and the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Mohammad Pakpour were killed in recent Israeli airstrikes on Iran. According to a British news agency citing informed sources the two senior officials were reportedly among those killed during the attacks.
The report, attributed to two sources familiar with Israeli military operations and one regional source, states that the strikes targeted key Iranian military figures. However, there has been no official confirmation from Iranian authorities regarding the deaths.
The escalation follows recent military actions by the United States and Israel against Iranian targets, which reportedly resulted in the deaths of several senior IRGC commanders and political officials. In response, Iran announced a retaliatory campaign named “Operation True Promise 4,” targeting U.S. and Israeli interests.
Iranian state media reported that the IRGC launched missile and drone strikes on multiple U.S. military installations across the region including bases in Bahrain Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. The U.S. Navy’s Fifth Fleet stationed in Bahrain was also cited as a target.
Iranian officials have vowed that missile and drone operations will continue amid the intensifying regional conflict.
