Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Iranian President Reportedly Injured in Israeli Strikes on Tehran Facility
Caption: Iranian President Reportedly Injured in Israeli Strikes on Tehran Facility. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian was reportedly injured during Israeli airstrikes on Tehran's underground facilities on 16 June. The airstrikes targeted access points of a secret facility where Pezeshkian was attending an emergency Supreme National Security Council meeting. According to Iran's Fars news agency, Pezeshkian suffered leg injuries while escaping through an emergency shaft. Israeli strikes during the 12-day war hit a mountain side in north-western Tehran, targeting the underground facility housing Iran's top officials. The strikes blocked the facility's access points and ventilation system, cutting off electricity, though Pezeshkian managed to escape. Pezeshkian accused Israel of attempting to assassinate him, a claim denied by Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz. Israel’s attack at the start of the war resulted in the deaths of many senior IRGC and army commanders, leading to confusion in Iran’s leadership. Questions remain about how Israel gathered intelligence on Iran's top officials and sensitive locations, with the US Air Force also attacking Iranian nuclear sites.
