The tension in the Middle East has reached an even higher point. According to Reuters sources, as a result of Israel's military operation against Iran, Iran's Defense Minister Aziz Nasserzoda and the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Mohammad Pokpur, may have been killed. However, this information has not yet been officially confirmed, and various conflicting reports surrounding the situation persist.
The most important thing is that the Iranian side has not yet officially approved this news. On the contrary, the country's Foreign Minister Abbas Arakchi issued a sharp statement stating that both President Masud Pezeshkiyan and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei are alive and that high-ranking officials are healthy. This once again shows the need to be careful with every message in the information space.
At the same time, a different picture is being painted in the information space close to the Israeli side. Israel's Channel 12 reported that the strikes caused immense damage to the leaders and military commanders of the Iranian regime. Although these claims have not yet been fully independently confirmed, they further increase the anxiety and uncertainty surrounding the incident.
On February 28, Reuters reported that Israeli and US forces launched a joint military attack on Iran. This operation is being assessed as serious pressure on Tehran's military and political infrastructure. In response, international publications report that Iran has also launched strikes against Israel and US military facilities in the Middle East.
This situation has brought the entire region to an even more dangerous stage. On one side - harsh accusations about the fate of high-ranking military officials, on the other - official refutations and statements that the situation is under control. So, for now, the most correct conclusion is this: events are developing very rapidly, but there is still no final and definitive confirmation.
In short, this event is not just a military clash, but a serious signal of pressure that has reached Iran's highest military-political stratum. If the information provided by Reuters is confirmed, this could become a major event that directly affects the balance of power in the Middle East. For now, the whole world is waiting for official and clear statements from Tehran.
