Israel has targeted President Masoud Pajhwokian during a standoff with Iran. Masoud Pajhwokian was slightly injured in an Israeli airstrike on June 16, the Fars News Agency, affiliated with Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), reported on Sunday (July 13). An NDTV report on Sunday said that Pajhwokian was hit in the leg when an Israeli missile struck a building in western Tehran, where a meeting of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council was being held. In addition to Pajhwokian, the meeting was attended by Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Judiciary Chief Mohseni Ajei and other senior officials. According to the report, Israel carried out the attack in a similar manner to the assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut. Where six missiles were fired at the building’s entry and exit points. In order to block escape routes and disrupt airflow. Iranian officials were present on the ground floor of the building at the time of the attack. After the explosion, the electricity on the floor was cut off. However, an emergency hatch had been prepared in advance and the officials were able to escape through it after the attack, the Fars report said. Along with Pezeshkian, several other officials were also slightly injured when they came out. Earlier, Iranian President Pezeshkian accused Israel of trying to assassinate him. He said, “They tried, they acted accordingly, but they failed.” He said this in an interview with Tukar Carlson. According to a report by Iran International, on June 16, Israel attacked an area near Shahrak-e Gharb in western Tehran. On June 13, Israel launched a surprise attack on Iran without any reason. Iran later responded to the Israeli attack with missile and drone strikes. Israeli forces killed several top Iranian military leaders and nuclear scientists in the 12-day conflict.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
