以色列官员周六下午告诉Walla新闻网，伊朗最高领袖阿里·哈梅内伊已与外界失去联系，其生死未卜。此前，以色列空袭了哈梅内伊位于德黑兰的住所，伊朗官员承诺将尽快公布哈梅内伊的录音。
以色列官员初步评估认为，哈梅内伊在空袭中受伤。但以色列、美国和伊朗方面均未收到官方证实。
此次空袭发生之际，以色列和美国对伊朗发动了攻击。伊朗国家媒体报道称，德黑兰、库姆、伊斯法罕、克尔曼沙赫和卡拉季等地均听到了爆炸声。
据两名熟悉以色列军事行动的消息人士和一名地区消息人士透露，伊朗国防部长阿米尔·纳西尔扎德和革命卫队指挥官穆罕默德·帕克普尔据信在以色列的袭击中丧生。
以色列和伊朗消息人士周六早些时候表示，对伊朗的空袭造成多名伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队高级指挥官和伊斯兰政权政治官员丧生。
伊朗国际电视台报道称，空袭造成四名伊朗高级情报指挥官死亡：分别是对外情报部门负责人贾瓦德·普尔侯赛因、安全部门负责人穆罕默德-礼萨·巴杰斯塔尼、反恐部门负责人阿里·海兰迪什以及负责对以战争的顾问赛义德·埃亚·哈米迪。
此外，路透社报道称，至少有三名与伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队有关联的巴斯基民兵组织成员在以色列和美国的袭击中丧生。
德黑兰市议会一名成员表示，哈梅内伊的女婿和儿媳也在空袭中丧生。
伊朗安全委员会指示德黑兰以及其他主要城市的居民待在安全地点，直至另行通知。
Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has been cut off from contact, and there is no certainty about his fate, Israeli officials told Walla on Saturday afternoon. Iranian officials promised to release a recording from Khamenei soon after Israeli strikes targeted his Tehran compound.
The preliminary assessment among Israeli officials was that Khamenei was hurt in the strike. No official confirmation has been received by Israeli, American, or Iranian sources.
The strikes came as Israel and the United States launched an attack on Iran, with Iranian state media reporting explosions heard in Tehran, Qom, Isfahan, Kermanshah, and Karaj.
Iran’s Defense Minister Amir Nasirzadeh and Revolutionary Guards commander Mohammed Pakpour are believed to have been killed in Israeli attacks, two sources familiar with Israel’s military operations and one regional source said.
Israeli and Iranian sources said earlier on Saturday that strikes on Iran killed several senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) commanders and Islamic Regime political officials.
Iran International reported that the strikes killed four senior Iranian intelligence commanders: Javad Pourhossein, head of the foreign intelligence unit; Mohammad-Reza Bajestani, head of the security unit; Ali Kheirandish, head of the counterterrorism unit; and Saeed Ehya Hamidi, adviser on the war with Israel.
Additionally, Reuters reported that at least three members of Iran’s IRGC-linked Basij paramilitary forces were killed in the Israeli-US attacks.A member of the Tehran City Council said that Khamenei’s son-in-law and daughter-in-law were both killed in strikes.
Iran’s Security Council instructed residents of Tehran, as well as other major cities, to stay in safe, protected locations until further notice.
