Update: Ali Shamkhani has been killed. Iranian officials view this as Israel targeting and killing nuclear diplomacy with the US, they tell me.
NEWS: Ali Shamkhani has been severely injured in a strike targeting his house and hospitalized. Mr. Shamkhani is currently spearheading nuclear talks committee appointed by supreme leader and is former secretary of National Security Council.
