Israel Targets Iranian Intelligence Minister Ismail Khatib After Larijani’s Assassination

According to a report by Israel’s Channel 12, the strike took place in Tehran on Tuesday night. However, Israeli officials have yet to confirm whether Khatib was killed in the operation.

The ongoing conflict, which escalated following the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on February 28, has turned the Middle East into a volatile battleground. While Israel and the U.S. continue their high-profile targeted strikes against Tehran's leadership, Iran is retaliating with massive drone and ballistic missile attacks on Israeli territories and U.S. military bases. The potential loss of the Intelligence Minister would mark another devastating blow to Iran’s command structure.
