Tel Aviv/Tehran: Israel’s Air Force has said it carried out another wave of strikes targeting ballistic missile arrays and air defence systems in western and central Iran.

In a post on X, the Israeli Air Force said one of the sites hit was a missile launch facility in the central Qom region.

The military said the strikes in central Iran “thwarted dozens of launches” towards Israel and “deeply damaged the regime’s most central offensive capability”.

There was no immediate response from Iranian authorities on the claim. The latest development comes amid continuing military exchanges between the two sides.

Tehran: Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency is reporting that several close family members of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei have been killed in the recent joint US-Israeli strikes on Iran.

According to Fars, the supreme leader’s daughter, son-in-law and grandson were killed in the attacks. The agency, which is aligned with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), cited sources close to Tehran’s leadership for the information.

This report follows wide-ranging claims and counter-claims about the impact of the strikes on Iran’s top leadership. Israeli and US officials have suggested that Khamenei himself was killed, though Tehran has repeatedly denied those claims and described them as psychological warfare.

There has been no official confirmation from Iranian authorities regarding the deaths of Khamenei’s family members, and independent verification of the reports is still lacking.
