The Israeli military said on Friday it killed a senior official in Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence in an airstrike carried out in Tehran two days earlier.

The army’s spokesperson identified the target as Mehdi Rostami Shamastan, “a central figure” within the ministry, who played “a key role in advancing operations targeting Israeli civilians and Jewish individuals in Israel and abroad.”

No immediate confirmation from Iranian authorities regarding the assassination.
