An airstrike in Tehran has killed two senior officials, Iranian authorities said, in an attack that further heightens tensions in the region.
Officials confirmed that the strike hit a location in the Iranian capital, resulting in the deaths of two high-ranking figures. The identities of the officials and the exact location targeted were not immediately disclosed.
Emergency services responded to the scene following reports of an explosion, and authorities launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the attack. The incident comes amid escalating hostilities across the Middle East, where several countries have reported missile strikes, drone attacks and military confrontations in recent days.
Analysts say attacks targeting high-ranking officials could increase the risk of further retaliation and broaden the conflict. Iranian officials have not yet provided details on who may have been responsible for the strike, but authorities said security measures in the capital have been increased following the incident.
