Iran Claims Targeted Strikes
Israel and the United States have killed hundreds of Iranian military and political leaders. but the Iranians are now striking back, and apparently enjoying a few successes.
Early Tuesday morning, there were unconfirmed reports that Iranian strikes had taken out David Barnea, the head of Mossad. Also said to be killed: Iddo Netanyahu, the brother of Israeli Prime Minster Benjamin Netanyahu.
For its part, Israel has denied these claims, chalking them up as propaganda. The Israelis claimed they, too, have scored another head: Iran’s newly appointed Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s son.
Obviously, it might take weeks, if not months, to know what’s true and what’s propaganda. Here’s a recent Israeli news report from ILTV on Barnea, noting he plans to step down anyway from Mossad come June.
