BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 17. Details of how
Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei survived have been revealed,
Trend reports,
citing The Telegraph.


The publication noted that the new supreme leader survived an
Israeli missile attack. As a result of that attack, his father Ali
Khamenei was killed.


According to the publication, Mojtaba left the house a few
minutes before the strike, and this information is known from a
leaked audio recording of the address of Mazahir Hosseini, the head
of the protocol service of the head of the state's office, to
senior clerics and commanders of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard
Corps (IRGC).


Mojtaba was in the same complex as his father with his wife and
son. According to Hosseini, in the morning of February 28, shortly
before the strike, he went out into the courtyard and was not
inside when the explosion occurred. "He had gone out into the yard
to do something... he was on the street and was going upstairs when
a rocket hit the building," the head of the protocol service
said.


According to Hosseini, Mojtaba suffered a "slight injury to his
leg" as a result of the explosion. The attack was coordinated: the
strikes were carried out simultaneously on several objects in the
office complex and were probably aimed at the complete destruction
of the Khamenei family.


Since no concrete agreement was reached in negotiations between
the United States (US) and Iran over the nuclear program, the US
and Israel began military airstrikes against Iran on February 28.
In response, Iran launched missile and drone attacks on Israel and
US military facilities located in countries across the region,
starting the same day.







On the first day of the air strikes against Iran, Iran’s Supreme
Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and several high-ranking
military officials were killed. On March 8, Iran’s Assembly of
Experts elected Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei as Iran’s third Supreme
Leader by majority vote.


From March 1 through March 5, the confrontation expanded
further, affecting several countries across the Middle East.


According to information, the U.S. side suffered losses of 13
dead and more than 140 wounded.


The ongoing conflict has significantly threatened the region’s
energy infrastructure and maritime transport. Oil prices have
surged on global markets due to heightened security tensions around
the Strait of Hormuz, prompting several countries to advise their
citizens to leave the region.
