Israel eliminates Iran's defense minister, two days after killing his

Iran's newly appointed Chief of Defense, Seyed Majid ibn al-Reza, has reportedly been killed in Israeli airstrikes, just two days after news of the assassination of his predecessor, Amir Nasirzadeh.

The strikes are part of a broader US-Israeli military operation that is reportedly targeting Iranian military and strategic sites. The campaign has been described as one of the most intense in recent decades.

Previous reports have confirmed that former Revolutionary Guard commander Mohammad Pakpour was among the victims, citing foreign media sources.

US President Donald Trump described the operation, called "Operation Epic Fury", as a preventive measure against threats emanating from Iran's nuclear and missile programs.

For his part, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that the military campaign aims to support the Iranian people "in shaping their future."

So far, Iranian authorities have not provided a full official confirmation of these reports, while the situation in the region remains tense and evolving.
