Iran has confirmed the deaths of two high-ranking military officials in continued Israeli airstrikes targeting key Iranian military and strategic installations, state media reported on Saturday.
According to Iran’s state broadcaster, General Gholamreza Mehrabi, deputy head of intelligence at the armed forces’ general staff, and General Mehdi Rabbani, deputy head of operations, were “martyred” in the latest round of Israeli strikes.
Meanwhile, Iran on Saturday morning launched a fresh barrage of ballistic and hypersonic missiles at Israel in what officials described as the fifth phase of its retaliatory operation dubbed ‘True Promise 3’, further escalating an already volatile conflict between the two archrivals.

According to Iranian media and foreign news agencies, the latest round of missile strikes targeted multiple Israeli cities, including Tel Aviv and Haifa, where loud explosions were reported by eyewitnesses. Warning sirens were activated across northern parts of occupied Palestine, with residents being instructed to take shelter.
Iran's state-affiliated Mehr News Agency, citing Israeli outlets, claimed that a 50-storey building in Tel Aviv sustained significant damage, while dozens of missiles and drones evaded Israel's air defence systems and reached critical infrastructure. Iranian authorities stated that “no part of Israel will be safe” as the retaliatory campaign unfolds.
