Two Iran Guards killed clearing “Israeli” explosives

Two members of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) were killed Sunday in western Iran while attempting to dismantle explosives in an area hit by “Israeli” airstrikes during the 12-day war, local media reported.

Israel launched strikes on Iran on June 13 with the stated aim of preventing it from acquiring nuclear weapons, a claim Tehran has consistently denied.

Tasnim news agency, citing an IRGC statement, reported that "two Guards were killed Sunday in Khorramabad (west) while clearing an area of explosives left behind by the aggression of the Zionist regime."

“Israeli” strikes during the conflict resulted in the deaths of senior military officials and scientists involved in Iran's nuclear program.

The Iranian judiciary authority stated that the "war" killed at least 936 people. A ceasefire between the two was announced on June 24.

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei attended a religious ceremony in Tehran on Saturday, according to footage released by state media, marking his first public appearance since the ceasefire with “Israel”.

Iran announced Thursday that it had fully reopened its airspace, which had been closed on the first day of the war.
