The Israeli military said it has killed a senior official from Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence in an airstrike on Tehran.

In a statement, the military said the operation was carried out two days earlier by the air force following a joint intelligence effort involving Military Intelligence, Mossad and Shin Bet, The Caspian Post reports, citing Al Jazeera.

The target was identified as Mehdi Rostami Shamastan, described by Israel as a key figure within Iran’s intelligence structure.

The claim has not been independently verified, and Iranian authorities have not issued an immediate response.
