Tehran outlet claims the IDF struck Masoud Pezeshkians underground bunker during last months war
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian was slightly injured during Israeli airstrikes on a bunker last month, according to Iranian state-affiliated outlet Fars.
The June 16 strike reportedly involved six bombs targeting access points to a secret underground facility in western Tehran, where Pezeshkian and other top officials were attending a meeting of Iran's Supreme National Security Council.
Fars said on Saturday the blasts cut power to the facility, forcing the president to flee through an emergency shaft, during which he sustained leg injuries.
The outlet claimed the operation was modeled after the September 2024 strikes in Beirut that killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.
During the 12-day war that ended with a US-brokered ceasefire on June 24, Israeli forces killed several senior Iranian commanders and nuclear scientists.
In an interview with journalist Tucker Carlson released last week, Pezeshkian said Israel had tried to assassinate him. Israel has not commented on the claim.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he ordered the attack to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. The US backed the strikes and joined Israeli raids on Iranian nuclear facilities on June 22. Tehran, which denies pursuing a military nuclear program, condemned the attacks as unprovoked.
