Israel’s continued airstrikes on Iran have killed the intelligence chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) along with two other senior generals, Iranian authorities confirmed on Sunday.

The assault marked the third consecutive day of Israeli strikes on Tehran and other Iranian cities, prompting Iran to launch fresh retaliatory missile attacks on Israeli territory.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that Tehran would cease its response if Israel halts its offensive. Since the Israeli campaign began, at least 224 people have been killed in Iran, while over a dozen fatalities have been reported in Israel.

Meanwhile, the ongoing Israeli offensive in Gaza has resulted in the deaths of at least 55,362 people and injuries to 128,741 others, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. The conflict stems from Hamas’ October 7, 2023 attack, which killed around 1,139 people in Israel and saw over 200 taken hostage.
