• Verification Source #3: "“Major General Hossein Salami, head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, was martyred in the Israeli regime's attack on the IRGC..." This confirms the death of a high-ranking IRGC official.
• Verification Source #5: "Iran's state TV says nuclear scientists Fereydoun Abbasi-Davani and Mohammad Mehdi Tehranchi were killed in an Israeli strike earlier this..." This confirms the death of nuclear scientists.
