Two senior Iranian generals have been killed in Israeli strikes, state television reported Saturday, as Israel kept up its assault on Iran’s military and nuclear capabilities.
General Gholamreza Mehrabi, deputy head of intelligence of the armed forces general staff, and General Mehdi Rabbani, deputy head of operations, ‘were martyred’, the broadcaster said.
Meanwhile, Iran’s civil aviation authorities had declared the country’s airspace closed ‘until further notice,’ state media reported Saturday, as Israel and Iran continued to trade fire for a second day.
‘No flights will be operated at any airports in the country in order to protect the safety of passengers until further notice,’ the official IRNA news agency said.source-newage
