Two U.S. intelligence sources confirmed to CBS News that Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian was injured during an Israeli attack last month. Iranian state media reports, corroborated by the sources, indicate Pezeshkian sustained leg injuries while escaping a Supreme National Security Council meeting targeted by the Israeli strike. While it's unclear if he was the intended target, Pezeshkian himself claimed Israel attempted his assassination. The White House and Israeli government haven't commented, and the attack occurred amidst a 12-day conflict between the two nations resulting in hundreds of casualties.
