Iranian top nuclear scientist and senior IRGC officer Mohammad Reza Sedighi Saber was killed in an Israeli airstrike on northern Tehran, Iranian media reported Tuesday.

The strike came just hours before Israel and Iran accepted a ceasefire proposal brokered by US President Donald Trump, ending a 12-day conflict.

Israel also targeted roads near Iran’s Fordow enrichment facility and struck Evin prison, known for holding political prisoners.

Iranian retaliation included missile strikes on Israeli cities and a US base in Qatar. The ceasefire is now in effect, though tensions remain high.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.
