Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian was lightly injured during an Israeli attack on Tehran on June 16, Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps-affiliated Fars News Agency reported on Sunday.
The attack took place during a meeting between senior Iranian government officials in Tehran, including the president, and according to the report, several other participants were also injured. Fars reported that Pezeshkian’s leg was wounded as a result of the strike.
The meeting was held days after the war began in a building in the western part of the city. The president, speaker of parliament, and the head of the judiciary participated in the meeting, which took place on the lower levels of the building.
According to the report, the operation was similar to that of Nasrallah’s assassination.
