As a result of the Israeli strikes on Iran, members of the Iranian general Staff, including the head and several high-ranking nuclear scientists, were probably killed. This was reported by the Reuters news agency on Friday, June 13.

According to The New York Times, citing an Iranian source, the strikes were carried out on a complex in Tehran where senior military commanders live, as a result of which three residential buildings were destroyed.

"Iran's state television reported that the commander—in-chief of the Revolutionary Guards, General Hossein Salami, was killed, as were at least four senior officials," the report said.

Iran's state news agency (IRNA) reported that at least a dozen civilians were killed in Israeli strikes on Tehran alone.
