Wounded Iranian president forced to escape through emergency hatch during Israeli air strike
Iran’s president was injured in an Israeli air strike targeting a meeting of the Supreme National Security Council, Tehran has revealed.
Masoud Pezeshkian was wounded in the leg and forced to escape through an emergency hatch after Israel struck the meeting in Tehran with six missiles during the 12-day war in June.
The revelation, by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-affiliated Fars news agency, confirmed claims made by Mr Pezeshkian during a recent interview that Israel had tried to assassinate him.
According to Fars, Mr Pezeshkian, 70, sustained an injury in the strike on June 16. Others in attendance at the meeting included Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the parliamentary speaker, and Mohseni Ejei, a judiciary chief.
