The top commander of Iran’s Quds Force, Esmail Qaani, is in “good health,” the force’s deputy commander Iraj Masjedi says according to state media, adding no further statement on the issue is needed.

Two senior Iranian security officials told Reuters yesterday that Qaani had not been heard from since Israeli strikes on Beirut late last week.
