US Intelligence Confirms Iranian President Pezeshkian Injured in Past Israeli Strike

U.S. intelligence sources have confirmed that Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian sustained injuries during an Israeli attack on Iran last month. This confirmation supports earlier reports from Iranian state media.

According to the intelligence sources, Pezeshkian was attending a Supreme National Security Council meeting when the strike occurred. Iranian state media indicated he suffered leg injuries while escaping through an emergency shaft. The question of whether Pezeshkian was an intentional target remains unresolved.

Pezeshkian himself, in a recent interview with Tucker Carlson, asserted that Israel attempted to assassinate him by bombarding the area where he was meeting. He claimed, “They did try, yes. And they acted accordingly, but they failed.” He further specified that Israel, not the United States, was behind the attempt, citing intelligence gathered by spies.

Neither the White House nor the Israeli government has commented on these reports, and an Iranian government official declined to provide a statement. The exact date of the strike has not been disclosed by Pezeshkian.

The broader 12-day conflict between Israel and Iran resulted in hundreds of casualties in Iran and 28 in Israel, concluding with a ceasefire brokered by the Trump administration. Several high-ranking Iranian military officials, including Gen. Hossein Salami and Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh, were killed during the hostilities. The U.S. also conducted airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities during the conflict.
