Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has stated that several high-ranking military commanders may have been killed as a result of strikes carried out by the United States and Israel against the country's territory.
Operative Information Center-OMM reports that while the minister acknowledged the possible loss of certain commanders, he emphasized that such losses do not pose a serious challenge to the country's overall defense system.
The statement follows reports from Reuters, which, citing its own sources, previously indicated that Iranian Defense Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh and the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) ground forces, Mohammad Pakpour, were neutralized during Israeli missile attacks.
The escalation comes amid heightened regional tensions following a series of precision strikes targeting strategic military infrastructure. Such operations are typically aimed at degrading the command-and-control capabilities of the Iranian military apparatus. The international community continues to monitor the situation closely, as these developments significantly impact the security dynamics across the Middle East and the broader geopolitical landscape.
