Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi may have been killed in a targeted operation, according to multiple sources in Tehran, Mena Today has learned.
The information has not yet been officially confirmed by Iranian authorities.
According to the same sources, Araqchi was not at his office or his private residence at the time of the strike. He is said to have been at what appeared to be a protected site, suggesting a level of intelligence penetration that would represent a significant operational achievement for whoever carried out the strike.
The location and nature of the site have not been disclosed.
Araqchi was the face of Iran's nuclear negotiations, the man who sat across the table in Geneva just days ago, urging Washington to avoid "excessive demands."
He would now be silent.
It should be stressed that no official Iranian source has confirmed or denied the reports at this stage. State media has not issued any statement. The information remains unverified and should be treated with appropriate caution.
Mena Today is working to verify this information.
An Iranian parliamentary committee is reviewing a preliminary bill that would bar U.S., Israeli and other "hostile" vessels from transiting the Strait of Hormuz, Iran's semi-official Fars news agency reported, citing a lawmaker.
With President Donald Trump’s war against Iran now in its sixth month, this week's flurry of threats and diplomacy has underscored the ever-tighter bind he finds himself in as he tries to extricate the U.S. from an unpopular conflict he originally claimed would last just weeks.
At least 30 Yemeni government troops were killed in Houthi attacks on military camps in the provinces of Marib and Hadramout, government sources said on Thursday.
