Iran Quds Force Commander Esmail Qaani's Status Sparks Conflicting Reports

Amid Israeli airstrikes and allegations of espionage, Iran asserts Qaani is in good health and set to receive a medal, while others claim he is under investigation.

Esmail Qaani, the head of Iran's Quds Force, has not been publicly seen since traveling to Lebanon following Israeli airstrikes that killed Hezbollah's leader.
Iranian officials maintain that Qaani is unharmed and will soon receive the Fath medal from Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei for his service.
Conflicting reports suggest Qaani is under house arrest and being interrogated over potential security breaches linked to Israeli intelligence operations.
Speculation surrounds Qaani's possible ties to Israeli intelligence, with some reports alleging he suffered a heart attack during questioning.
The situation has raised tensions within Iran's Revolutionary Guards as they investigate how Israel penetrated Hezbollah's command structure.
