Israel claimed that another high-ranking Iranian general, Ali Shadmani, had been killed in an overnight strike.
Gen Ali Shadmani had just been named as the head of the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters.
Shadmani was a general in Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard and known as the closest figure to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Iran did not immediately acknowledge Shadmani's death.
"For the second time in 5 days— the IDF has eliminated Iran’s War-Time Chief of Staff, the regime’s top military commander. Ali Shadmani, Iran’s senior-most military official and Khamenei’s closest military advisor, was killed in an IAF strike in central Tehran, following precise intelligence," Israel Defense Forces posted the update on X.
US President Donald Trump said he is looking forward for a 'real end' to the conflict between Israel and Iran, and not just a ceasefire.
"I'm not looking for a ceasefire, we're looking at better than a ceasefire," Trump told reporters shortly after arriving back in the United States from a G7 summit in Canada.
The president said he was looking for "an end, a real end, not a ceasefire," adding that he wanted a "complete give-up" by Iran.
Iran accused the Group of Seven nations on Tuesday of siding with Israel in its call for "de-escalation" in their intensifying conflict, now in its fifth day.
"The G7 must give up its one-sided rhetoric and tackle the real source of the escalation -- Israel's aggression," foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said.
"Israel has launched an unprovoked war of aggression against Iran... in violation of... the UN Charter," the spokesman said.
"Hundreds of innocent people have been killed, our public and state facilities and people's homes are brutally demolished.
"Iran is defending itself against a cruel aggression. Does Iran really have any other choice?" he asked.
US President Donald Trump on Tuesday issued a chilling warning to Iran’s Supreme Leader, saying the United States knows exactly where he is hiding and could eliminate him, “but not for now.”
In a series of social media posts amid the escalating Iran-Israel conflict, Trump wrote: “We know exactly where the so-called ‘Supreme Leader’ is hiding. He is an easy target, but is safe there – we are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now.”
The direct reference to a potential assassination marked one of Trump’s most provocative public threats against Iran’s leadership to date. He warned Tehran against targeting civilians or US soldiers, saying American patience was “wearing thin.”
In another post, Trump declared that the US now had “complete and total control” of Iranian airspace, boasting that Iranian defences were no match for “American made, conceived, and manufactured ‘stuff’.”
He ended with a final message in all caps: “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!”
The remarks come as Washington repositions military assets in the region and global powers urge restraint. Trump left the G7 summit early to focus on the conflict, which has seen heavy casualties in both Iran and Israel over the past week.
The IDF said it has identified a new wave of incoming missiles fired from Iran.
Sirens are going off in different parts of the country, primarily in the north and Haifa. The public has been instructed to seek shelter.
