Iran: 'Israel Will Pay the Price' for Allegedly Trying to Kill Pezeshkian
TEHRAN PROVINCE, IRAN, JUL 13 – Iran launched a probe into a missile strike that targeted top regime leaders during a security meeting, with at least three senior officers killed, officials said.
- On the morning of June 16, 2025, Israeli forces launched a targeted attack in western Tehran aiming to assassinate Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian during a key National Security Council meeting.
- The attack involved six bombs or missiles aimed at blocking evacuation routes and disrupting air circulation, inspired by a similar operation against Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah last year.
- Pezeshkian and a number of officials suffered slight leg injuries but were able to flee using an emergency exit that had been arranged beforehand, while the affected floor experienced a power outage following the blasts.
- Mohsen Rezaei stated, "They tried, yes. They acted accordingly, but they failed," while an unnamed Iranian official declared, "Israel will pay the price" for the assassination attempt.
- Iran launched an extensive investigation to root out suspected infiltrators involved in the attack, and threatened retaliation against Israel amid ongoing regional tensions despite an active ceasefire.
