In Brief…

• Iran announced several senior military appointments within hours, state media said Monday, as key posts remain without permanent chiefs after their previous holders were killed in US-Israeli airstrikes.
• Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said he spent seven to eight hours discussing political and economic issues with Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, citing the lengthy meeting as evidence that Khamenei was in “perfect health.”
• Israel’s Foreign Ministry slammed Iran’s appointment of a former IRGC commander to a top national security post, pointing to an Interpol Red Notice over Mohsen Rezaei’s role in the 1994 AMIA Jewish community center bombing in Buenos Aires, which killed 85 people.
