Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian sustained a minor leg injury during an Israeli missile strike on a building in western Tehran on June 16, a semi-official Iranian news agency reported Sunday.

The Fars News Agency, which is affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), said the airstrike targeted a location where a high-level meeting of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council was taking place. Top Iranian officials including Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and Judiciary Chief Mohseni Ejei were reportedly present.

The report suggests the operation was inspired by Israel’s alleged plan to assassinate Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut. Six precision-guided missiles were launched at the building’s entry and exit points, designed to trap those inside and neutralize airflow.

Officials were in the building’s lower levels when the missiles hit, causing a brief power outage. An emergency hatch allowed the group to escape, though some, including President Pezeshkian, sustained minor injuries.

Following the incident, Iranian authorities are investigating the possibility of an insider leak, as the accuracy of the strike suggests precise intelligence.

President Pezeshkian had previously claimed in an interview with U.S. journalist Tucker Carlson that Israel attempted to assassinate him. “They did try, yes… They acted accordingly, but they failed,” he said.

The strike occurred in Tehran’s Shahrak-e Gharb area and is part of a broader 12-day conflict during which Israel reportedly killed multiple senior Iranian military and nuclear figures, including IRGC Commander Hossein Salami and Armed Forces Chief Mohammad Bagheri.

Other reports have suggested that Israel also considered a strike on Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, though the opportunity allegedly never arose.
