Iranian president lightly injured in Israeli strike on top security meeting: Report

On June 16, 2025, an Israeli airstrike struck a gathering of Iran's top national security officials in a building in western Tehran, resulting in injury to Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian.
The attack took place during ongoing hostilities involving Israel and Iran, at a time when diplomatic talks with the US were underway, with Israel seeking to interrupt Iranian leadership meetings based on intercepted intelligence.
Six missiles targeted entrances and exits to trap attendees and cut airflow, causing a blackout while officials, including Pezeshkian, fled through a pre-planned emergency hatch sustaining minor injuries.
Pezeshkian told US commentator Tucker Carlson that "They tried but they failed" in the assassination attempt, which he attributed solely to Israel and denied any US involvement.
The attack demonstrated high precision and mirrored tactics from a past assassination attempt in Beirut, prompting Iranian investigations for possible infiltrators and complicating regional tensions amid ongoing ceasefire talks.
