Israel claims responsibility for the killing of senior Iranian commander Saeed Izadi in a strike on Qom, Iran. Izadi, the military coordinator between Iran's Revolutionary Guards and Hamas, was allegedly instrumental in planning the October 7th Hamas attack on Israel. Israel also claims to have killed another Quds Force commander, Behnam Shahriyari. The attacks come amid ongoing conflict, with both countries launching retaliatory strikes and escalating tensions. Iran denies involvement in the Hamas attack and has refused to resume nuclear talks until Israeli strikes cease.
