Iran president was reportedly injured in Israeli strikes
Iran's state Fars news agency, close to the revolutionary guard, says that on 16 June, six bombs targeted both access and entry points of a secret underground facility in Tehran where Pezeshkian was attending an emergency meeting of the Supreme National Security Council.
The president is said to have suffered leg injuries as he and others escaped through an emergency shaft. Iran is now reported to be following leads of infiltration by Israeli agents.
The Fars report has not been independently verified. Israel has not publicly commented on the report.
Videos posted on social media during the 12-day war showed repeated strikes against a mountain side in north-west Tehran.
Now it has emerged that the strikes on the fourth day of war targeted a secret underground facility in western Tehran where Iran's top leaders were at the time.
The Fars news agency report says the Israeli strikes blocked all the six entry and exit points, and also the ventilation system.
The electricity to the facility was also cut off - but Pezeshkian managed to reach safety.
The Supreme National Security Council is Iran's top decision-making body after Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Last week, Pezeshkian accused Israel of trying to kill him - a claim denied by Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz, who said "regime change" had not been not a goal of the war.
Israel wiped out many of top IRGC and army commanders at the very start of the war.
Iranian leaders admit they were taken completely by surprise, and there was a decision-making paralysis for at least the first 24 hours after the attack.
Israel officials admitted that Ayatollah Khamenei was also the target - but that they had lost track of him when he was moved to a secure secret location, cut off to a great extent from the outside world.
There are still many questions about how Israel had gathered critical intelligence about the whereabouts of Iran's top officials and commanders - not to mention the locations of sensitive secret facilities.
On 13 June, Israel launched a surprise attack on nuclear and military sites in Iran, saying it acted to prevent Tehran from making nuclear weapons.
Iran - who retaliated with aerial attacks on Israel - denies seeking to develop nuclear weapons and says its enrichment of uranium is for peaceful purposes.
On 22 June, the US's Air Force and Navy carried out air and missile strikes against three Iranian nuclear facilities.
US President Donald Trump later said the attack "obliterated" the facilities, even as some US intelligence agencies have taken a more cautious view.

IDF strikes Hezbollah Radwan training camps deep in Lebanese territory
An attack on mere Hezbollah infantry training camps, which lack threatening weapons, shows how up against the wall Hezbollah is. The IDF on Tuesday attacked Hezbollah Radwan training camps around 100 km. deep into Lebanon in the Bekaa Valley, showing that it is now ready to attack the group anywhere in Lebanon, even if high-quality weapons are not in play. After the November 27, 2024, ceasefire with Hezbollah, Israel and the IDF primarily relegated any attacks to keeping Hezbollah forces out of southern Lebanon – enforcing the letter of the law of the ceasefire deal. However, as weeks and months passed since the ceasefire, Israel started to occasionally target specific Hezbollah sites in Beirut or deeper into the country, where the Lebanese terror group was starting to try to restore or reposition its remaining high-quality missiles and rockets. Tuesday's attack was unusual because it did not involve southern Lebanon and did not involve any high-quality weapons. Rather, the IDF said it had attacked Hezbollah's Radwan special forces' training camps and their storage centers for ammunition. Located over 100 km. away, these camps and their regular ammunition present no immediate or even medium-term threat to Israel, given that they would need to try to return to southern Lebanon, which Hezbollah has failed to do to date, before they could even try to conceive of invading Israel. Despite these facts, the IDF stated that the sole reason for the existence of these camps was to train for invading Israel at some point, and as such, it was in Israel's interest to disrupt the training. Also, the IDF noted that the threat was not theoretical, as Radwan is the special forces whose primary goal for years had been to invade the Galilee and conquer portions of it, in a nightmare scenario that could have been worse than Hamas's October 7 invasion. Next, the IDF recalled that in September 2024, it had managed to kill almost all of Radwan's senior commanders, but that IDF intelligence had detected attempts by Radwan to remake itself in these Bekaa Valley camps. Likewise, Defense Minister Israel Katz stated that Israel will strike any attempt by Radwan or other Hezbollah forces to try to rebuild capabilities for invading the Jewish state. All of this takes place as Hezbollah is at a low point in its power militarily and politically in Lebanon versus the other ethnic groups in the country, which also have stakes in aspects of state power. Israel's periodically hitting its capabilities and mid-level commanders from the air, its loss at least for now of Iranian financial support due to Tehran's need to recover from its own war with Israel, and the loss of the alliance with the Assad regime in Syria, have left Hezbollah hounded on several fronts simultaneously, and other Lebanese groups vying to reduce its control over the state.

Israel bombs Syrian forces entering Druze city after sectarian clashes
Israel says it has bombed Syrian government forces around Suweida, as they entered the predominantly Druze city following two days of deadly sectarian clashes. At least 200 people have been killed since the fighting between Druze militias and Bedouin tribes erupted on Sunday, UK-based monitoring group the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), reported. Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he had ordered strikes on forces and weapons in the Suweida area because the government "intended to use [them] against the Druze". Syria has condemned Israel's involvement and said the strikes had resulted in the deaths of members of the armed forces and civilians. This is the first time that Syrian government forces have been deployed to Suweida since Islamist-led rebels overthrew President Bashar al-Assad in December. Many minority communities - including the Druze, whose religion is an offshoot of Shia Islam with its own unique identity and beliefs - are suspicious of interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa's government despite his pledges to protect them. Until now, the province of Suweida had remained largely under the control of Druze militias which resisted calls to join the security forces. Netanyahu has said he is committed to preventing harm to the Druze in Syria because of their deep ties to those living in Israel and the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. Syria's foreign ministry said in a statement on Tuesday that Israel holds full responsibility for the latest attacks on southern Syria and the consequences. The Trump administration has now asked Israel to cease its strikes on Syrian military forces, US news outlet Axios reported, citing a US official. Israel reportedly said it would stop the attacks on Tuesday evening. Earlier on Tuesday, Syria's defence minister announced a ceasefire in Suweida, saying an agreement had been reached with local dignitaries for security forces to deploy there. However, one Druze spiritual leader urged local fighters to resist. Following the deployment of Syrian forces, SOHR accused government forces and their allies of the summary executions of at least 19 Druze civilians, including 12 at a family guest house. The SOHR further said members of the ministry of defence had carried out "systematic acts of vandalism targeting civilian homes and property" including "stealing the contents of homes, smashing doors and windows, and then setting fire to some of them". Men in military uniform were seen burning and looting homes and shops, Reuters news agency reported. Syrian authorities did not immediately responded to the allegations. A Suweida resident told BBC Arabic the situation in Suweida was "catastrophic", with indiscriminate shooting prompting people to "flee towards the countryside" despite a curfew declared by Syrian authorities. Dozens killed in clashes between Druze and Bedouin in southern Syria Deadly clashes in Syria's Druze areas raise fears of widening unrest 'We're not safe here anymore' - Syria's Christians fear for future after devastating church attack The fighting between Bedouin tribes and Druze militias in Suweida was reportedly sparked by the robbery and abduction of a Druze merchant on the highway to Damascus last Friday. On Sunday, armed Druze fighters reportedly encircled and later seized the city's al-Maqwas neighbourhood, which is inhabited by Bedouin. The clashes soon spread into other parts of Suweida province, with tribesmen reportedly launching attacks on Druze towns and villages on the city's outskirts. As the death toll reached 30, Syria's interior ministry announced that its forces and those of the defence ministry would intervene and impose order, saying the "dangerous escalation comes in light of the absence of relevant official institutions". There was a brief period of calm on Sunday night, after mediation between Bedouin and Druze leaders resulted in the release of people kidnapped by both sides, according to activist-run news outlet Suwayda 24. But on Monday, it said the fighting had resumed in the countryside west of the city after drones attacked villages at the same time as government forces deployed in nearby areas of eastern Deraa province. Later, Suwayda 24 reported that villages in the area were also hit by mortar fire and that dozens of dead and wounded had been brought to local hospitals. Meanwhile, the Israeli military said it had struck several government tanks to prevent them advancing towards Suweida city. Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said the strikes were a "clear warning to the Syrian regime". Among those killed in the fighting are children, Druze, Bedouin and Syrian security forces personnel, according to the SOHR. The BBC has been unable to independently verify casualty figures. On Tuesday morning, the Druze spiritual leadership said they had agreed to allow government forces to enter Suweida province in order to end the bloodshed and called on all armed groups there to co-operate and hand over their weapons. But hours later, influential Druze Sheikh Hikmat al-Hajri posted a video calling on Druze fighters to "resis[t] this brutal campaign by all available means", accusing government forces of bombarding Suweida city in violation of a ceasefire agreement. As security forces entered the city, Defence Minister Maj Gen Murhaf Abu Qasra announced a "complete ceasefire", saying an agreement had been reached with "notables and dignitaries". "Suweida neighbourhoods will be under the control of Internal Security Forces as soon as combing operations are completed in order to control the chaos, secure return of residents to their houses," he added. Early on Tuesday afternoon, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Israel Katz said they had directed the Israeli military to immediately attack Syrian forces and weaponry sent to the Suweida area "that the regime intended to use against the Druze". They accused the Syrian government of contravening "the demilitarisation policy they decided on" and of endangering Israel by deploying forces there. The Syrian Observatory shared a video that it said showed at least one member of the security forces who was killed in an Israeli strike on a convoy. There was no immediate response from the Syrian government. Earlier this year, Netanyahu warned that he would not "tolerate any threat" to Syria's Druze and demanded the complete demilitarisation of Suweida and two other southern provinces. He said Israel saw interim President Sharaa's Sunni Islamist group, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), as a threat. HTS is a former al-Qaeda affiliate that is still designated as a terrorist organisation by the UN and UK, but no longer the US. The Israeli military has already carried out hundreds of strikes across Syria to destroy the country's military assets since the fall of the Assad regime. And it has sent troops into the UN-monitored demilitarised buffer zone between the occupied Golan Heights and Syria, as well as several adjoining areas and the summit of Mount Hermon.
