Former Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is said to have been killed during the initial wave of Israeli airstrikes.
The attacks targeted key locations in Tehran and surrounding areas, according to reports from local media outlets.
Ahmadinejad, who served as president from 2005 to 2013, was a prominent figure in Iranian politics and a vocal critic of Western policies.
The incident has intensified tensions between the two countries and raised concerns about regional stability.
Officials have not yet confirmed the extent of the damage or the number of casualties beyond the former president.
International observers are monitoring the situation closely as diplomatic channels attempt to deescalate potential fallout.
