Tehran/Tel Aviv: Iran has made a major claim, saying its latest missile attack targeted the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the location of the Israeli Air Force commander in what it described as a “surprise” strike.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said the attack was part of its 10th wave of strikes and involved Kheibar missiles. According to the IRGC, the missiles hit Netanyahu’s office and the site linked to the Israeli Air Force commander.

The IRGC further claimed that Netanyahu’s fate remains “unclear” following the strike.

There has been no immediate confirmation from Israeli authorities regarding the claim. No official statement has been issued on any strike targeting the prime minister’s office or on Netanyahu’s condition.
