Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian was reportedly injured during an Israeli airstrike on a hidden underground facility in Tehran last month, BBC reported.

The strike on 16 June hit six access points to the bunker, where Pezeshkian was attending a high-level security meeting. He is said to have suffered minor leg injuries while escaping through an emergency shaft after power and ventilation were cut.

Israel hasn’t commented, but Iranian officials believe the attack was part of a broader effort to target top leaders, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei. Pezeshkian later accused Israel of trying to assassinate him — a claim Israeli officials deny.

The strike was part of a larger Israeli operation launched on 13 June to hit nuclear and military sites. Days later, the US also bombed Iranian nuclear facilities. President Trump said the US strikes “obliterated” them, though US intelligence remains cautious. Iran insists its nuclear program is peaceful, according to BBC.
