Iran's Quds Force chief, Esmail Qaani, has reportedly been out of contact since Israeli airstrikes targeted the Beirut area, raising concerns over his fate. Multiple Iranian officials have indicated that Qaani is missing, with some suggesting the possibility that he may have been killed or injured in the strikes aimed at Hezbollah's new leader, Safi al-Din. Reports are circulating that the Iranian military is examining the situation, as speculation grows regarding Qaani's whereabouts and whether he was caught in the crosshairs of an Israeli assassination attempt. The Israeli Defense Forces are reportedly preparing for potential retaliatory strikes on Iran following these developments.
