Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has claimed it launched a missile strike targeting the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, escalating the already volatile conflict between the two countries.
Israel, however, says there were no injuries in the reported strikes.
In a statement carried by Fars News Agency, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said its latest missile assault targeted the office of Benjamin Netanyahu and the headquarters of the Israeli Air Force commander.
The IRGC described the strike as part of the “tenth wave” of retaliatory operations and said Kheibar missiles were used in what it called a targeted and surprise attack.
According to the Guard’s public relations department, the office of the “criminal prime minister of the Zionist regime” and the location of the regime’s air force commander were “severely hit.”
Netanyahu’s condition 'unclear'
The IRGC claimed that Netanyahu’s fate remains “in a cloud of uncertainty,” though it did not provide independent verification of his condition or location.
It also said the location where the commander of the Israeli Air Force was present had been targeted. Iranian authorities indicated that further details about the operation would be announced later.
The Israeli side has not issued detailed comments on the specific claims but has stated there were no injuries resulting from the strikes.
Part of wider retaliatory campaign
Iran said the missile assault was part of its retaliatory response after the United States and Israel carried out military attacks on Iran on Saturday.
Tehran claims it has so far conducted ten waves of drone and missile attacks against Israel and US regional bases. The escalating exchanges have heightened fears of a broader regional confrontation.
Israel claims to have killed Iranian intel officials
Amid the latest developments, Israel’s military announced that two senior Iranian intelligence officials were killed in the first wave of Israeli attacks on Iran.
In a statement published Monday, the Israeli army identified the victims as Sayed Yahya Hamidi and Jalal Pour Hussein.
Israel claimed Hamidi was deputy minister of intelligence for Israel affairs and had “led terrorist activities targeting Jews, Western actors, and regime opponents in Iran and abroad.”
It further stated that Hossein was head of the espionage division at Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence.
The military added that “additional senior terrorists were eliminated” alongside them.
Conflict continues to widen
The exchange of missile and drone strikes marks another sharp escalation in the growing conflict between Iran and Israel.
With claims and counterclaims emerging from both sides, the situation remains fluid and highly sensitive, as regional tensions continue to rise.
