SAEDNEWS: New disclosures reveal that during an Israeli‑claimed strike on Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, President Masoud Pezeshkian sustained minor leg wounds as assailants mimicked the tactics of the plot against Hassan Nasrallah.

Inside Iran’s High‑Stakes Security Breach: How an “Elite” Meeting Became a Trap

According to Saed News, on the morning of June 16, 2025, a clandestine session of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council convened in a subterranean wing of a west Tehran compound. Sources from Fars News Agency describe how attackers—employing a six‑warhead salvo of bombs or rockets—deliberately struck all ingress and egress points to seal off escape routes and suffocate internal air circulation. When the explosions plunged the chamber into darkness, officials fled through a pre‑installed emergency vent, but not without incident: President Masoud Pezeshkian suffered superficial injuries to his lower leg while navigating the cramped shaft.

The assault’s design closely paralleled the failed 2000s assassination plot against Hezbollah’s leader, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah—a template that analysts say requires intimate knowledge of both building architecture and high‑level schedules. Tehran’s intelligence services are now probing for a potential insider collaborator. Such a breach underscores a grim message: that adversaries are willing to employ terror tactics against Iran’s most senior cadres.

Compounding outrage, pro‑Western and Israeli‑aligned media outlets have mounted rhetorical assaults on Iran’s clerical authorities—citing fatwas branding foreign leaders as rebels—while remaining conspicuously silent on the regime’s own ongoing security atrocities. Observers warn this selective indignation highlights the paradox of condemning judicial decrees on grounds of human rights while glossing over lethal strikes on state institutions.
