Iran denies Israeli claims about casualties of senior military personnel due to attacks

Last Wednesday, sources from the Islamic Republic of Iran, quoted by Telesur, stated that Commander Admiral Ali Shamkhani, Generals Esmail Qaani and Abdulrahim Mousavi, and Defense Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh are alive, which refutes the claims of the Zionist government of Benjamin Netanyahu to have assassinated them.

“After falsely claiming to have assassinated the main Iranian commanders... Iran has just exposed Zionist lies in one breath,” details the message quoted by the media.

Significant discrepancies are revealed between the Israeli reports and the recent activities of the commanders. Israeli media such as The Jerusalem Post, Ynet and The Times of Israel published articles between June 13 and 15 detailing the alleged elimination of senior Iranian officials in massive air strikes.

The Israeli government, through official statements and statements by Netanyahu, claimed to have executed a strategy to collapse the Iranian military structure, citing information that indicated the presence of these leaders in the attacked sites.

The claims lack independent evidence, such as forensic records or third-party confirmations, and are based primarily on Israeli government sources.

This is demonstrated by Iranian media and local sources that offer the opposite picture. The Tala.ir website reported that Admiral Ali Shamkhani was hospitalized for an unspecified condition, and with statements from his doctors giving details of his recovery, implying that he is still alive and active.
