Tehran: Ali Shamkhani, senior political advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and former top security official, is in stable condition after being severely injured in an Israeli strike on June 13, Iranian media reported on Friday.

According to Anadolu Agency, speculation about Shamkhani's condition ended when he personally confirmed his recovery in a message to the Supreme Leader. Shamkhani was hospitalized and treated for life-threatening injuries as a result of what has been described by Iranian media as "Israeli terrorist aggression."

Hostilities broke out last Friday when Israel launched airstrikes on several sites across Iran, including military and nuclear facilities, prompting Tehran to launch retaliatory strikes. The conflict has led to significant casualties on both sides.

According to Israeli authorities, Iranian missile attacks have resulted in the deaths of at least 25 people and injuries to hundreds more. Meanwhile, Iranian media reports that the Israeli assault has killed 639 people and injured over 1,300 others.
