Iranian president Masoud Pezeshkian was slightly injured by an Israeli strike during the 12-day war between Tehran and Jerusalem last month, according to a report by the IRGC-linked Fars News Agency. On June 16, four days into the conflict, Pezeshkian was attending a meeting of Iran’s supreme national security council when a missile reportedly hit the building due to which he suffered a leg injury.Israel targeted the Shahrak-e Gharb area of western Tehran during the strike. Accoding to the report, the strike also targeted other top officials, including Parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and judiciary chief Mohseni Ejei. The attack was modeled after Israel’s earlier assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut, using six missiles to hit the building’s entry and exit points.Iranian leaders were located on the lower floors of the building when the blasts occurred. Power to the area was cut, but an emergency hatch allowed them to escape. Several officials, including Pezeshkian, received minor injuries while evacuating.Authorities are now investigating the possibility of an internal leak, as the precision of the strike raised concerns about an infiltrator.President Pezeshkian had earlier claimed that Israel tried to assassinate him.”They did try, yes…They acted accordingly, but they failed,” he said in an interview as reported by Fars. “Thanks to the intelligence by the spies that they had, they tried to bombard the area in which we were holding that meeting,” he added.Israel said that its large-scale offensive, launched 61 days after US President Donald Trump imposed a 60-day deadline for a nuclear agreement, was aimed at halting Iran’s declared goal of destroying the state. The operation targeted Iran’s top military commanders, nuclear scientists, uranium enrichment facilities, and ballistic missile program.During the 12-day attack, Israeli strikes killed several high-ranking Iranian military officials and nuclear scientists, including IRGC commander Hossein Salami, armed forces chief Mohammad Bagheri, and IRGC air force commander Amir Ali Hajizadeh.
