Turkologist: Israeli-American strikes on Tehran  targeted Iranian  leadership 

ArmInfo. According to all reports, the Israeli-American strikes on Tehran targeted Iranian leadership, including Ayatollah Khamenei and President Masoud  Pezeshkian, but the latter are not in Tehran, as noted by  Turkologist Varuzhan Geghamyan  on his social media.

"At the same time, the New York Times recently reported that the  Iranian leadership is also prepared for such a development: Supreme  Leader Khamenei has already appointed four people to each of the top  positions. According to American sources, Ali Larijani, the head of  the Supreme National Security Council, plays a key role in these  appointments," Geghamyan stated.

Earlier, it was reported that Israel, with US support,  launched  attacks on Iran, targeting government buildings in Tehran. According  to unconfirmed reports, Iranian Army Commander-in-Chief Amir Khatami  was killed in the Israeli strikes.
