Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian sustained minor leg injuries during an Israeli strike on June 17, targeting a meeting of the Supreme National Security Council in Tehran. This attack involved six missiles aimed at entrances and exits of the secure building, similar to an operation against Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, according to TRT Global and Dawn.

Officials successfully evacuated through a pre-planned emergency hatch; however, Pezeshkian was reported as injured during this escape. The incident, deemed a possible "assassination attempt" against top Iranian leaders, has raised suspicions of intelligence leaks within Iran, as highlighted by Al Jazeera and TRT Global.

This orchestrated strike is part of an ongoing conflict that started on June 13, involving significant military engagement between Israel and Iran, resulting in substantial casualties. Iran has reported over 1,060 deaths in their territory, including military leaders, while retaliatory strikes by Iran reportedly killed at least 29 Israelis, according to Dawn and Al Jazeera.

The conflict concluded with a US-sponsored ceasefire on June 24, aiming to deescalate the situation between the two nations after extensive violence. Iranian officials emphasized that such actions by Israel would not go unanswered, emphasizing the ongoing tensions that characterize their relationship, as expressed in reports by Al Jazeera and TRT Global.
