Reports circulating on social media and select outlets claim that Hamid Khurasani, a senior Taliban commander, was killed in Pakistan-led airstrikes targeting Taliban headquarters and camps across Afghanistan. The claim notes that Khurasani had previously denounced Iran, describing it as infidel and insulting Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. As of now, there is no official confirmation from the Taliban, Pakistani authorities, or Afghan officials; verification is inconsistent and independent corroboration is limited. If true, the death could affect Taliban leadership and operational networks; if false, it may reflect misreporting amid the chaotic information environment in Afghanistan. Details are developing and should be treated with caution until verified by credible sources.
