Iranian news agencies reported that the building was "flattened" during the Israeli strikes.

Some estimates suggest much higher numbers, with facilities belonging to the IRGC, the Basij militia, and government buildings having been hit.

As part of the preparations for the attack, which, as noted, had been scheduled long beforehand, US President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu held several conversations in recent weeks.

Khamenei's daughter, grandchild, daughter-in-law, and son-in-law were also killed in US-Israeli strikes, Iranian state media reported on Sunday.

This diplomatic meeting is seen as a pivotal moment for both nations and a last chance to avoid a military confrontation.
