Senior Iranian intelligence official on FBI wanted list killed in Tehran strikes

Iran’s government said on Sunday there were no shortages of essential goods, gasoline or medicine across the country, as fighting and strikes continue.

Government spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani said supplies of basic goods were fully secured nationwide and that fuel distribution, including mobile fuel stations on major roads, had been arranged to prevent congestion.

She also said ports were operating normally and that the clearance of goods was proceeding without disruption.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said on Sunday it had fired four ballistic missiles at the US aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln, according to a statement carried by Iranian media.

The claim was published by Tasnim, which cited an IRGC public relations notice describing the reported strike as part of what it called the “True Promise 4” operation

There was no confirmation of damage to the carrier or of any casualties.

Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian said on Sunday that the country’s interim leadership council has begun its work following the death of the supreme leader.

In a recorded video message, Pezeshkian offered condolences over the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed on Saturday in US-Israeli airstrikes.

He added that the country’s armed forces would leave their enemies “hopeless.”

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said an interim leadership council had begun work on Sunday after the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, framing the move as part of the constitution’s succession process.

In a recorded video message, Pezeshkian said the council started operating on Sunday, March 1, citing Article 111 of Iran’s constitution.

He also said Iran’s armed forces would continue attacks on what he called “enemy bases,” and urged supporters of the Islamic Republic to maintain a visible presence in public spaces.

Video released by the Israeli military on Sunday appears to show a strike on the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Thar-Allah Headquarters in Tehran, a key command center responsible for security in the capital.

The IDF earlier said it had destroyed a command center of the Islamic Republic in Tehran and published aerial footage of the strike.

The Thar-Allah Headquarters is an IRGC command tasked with overseeing security in the Tehran area and reporting directly to the Guard’s top commander. Beyond its formal security role, the headquarters has played a central part in the suppression of popular protests in Iran.
