Korean media: Father, wife, and son were killed in the air strike ... Morteza, who left the building before the air strike, survived
¬ The British Daily Telegraph reported on the 16th that there are audio files of Iran's leadership meeting ... Revolutionary Guard leadership: The purpose of the air strike was to exterminate the Khamenei family
On the 16th, according to the British daily newspaper The Daily Telegraph, on February 28, just a few minutes before the U.S. and Israeli air strike, 56-year-old Morteza Khamenei, the new Supreme Leader of Iran, left the building and thus survived. Morteza Khamenei, the second son of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, lost his father, wife, and son in the air strike.
The Daily Telegraph obtained confidential meeting recordings of Iran's leadership on the 12th and made the above report. The content of the file is a report by Mazhar Hosseini, the head of the protocol department of the Supreme Leader's office, to the leadership of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) regarding the situation during the air strike.
According to the recording, around 09:32 on the morning of February 28, Morteza walked into the courtyard outside the residence, which was only a few minutes away from the U.S. and Israeli bombing of the leadership residential area in Iran. Just as he was about to return to the building, an Israeli Blue Sparrow missile fell, causing him only minor injuries to his leg and saving his life.
Hosseini said, "It was the will of God that Morteza went out to do something in the courtyard and then returned."
On the day of the incident, the U.S. and Israeli intelligence agencies received intelligence that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei attended a meeting in the leadership residential area in Tehran and immediately launched an air strike. The targeted area was the heart of Iran's power, where the presidential palace, the Supreme Leader's office, and the National Security Council were located. This attack resulted in the deaths of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, several senior military commanders, and their families.
The area included the religious hall where Ayatollah Ali Khamenei gave speeches and the homes of his children. At least three missiles hit the site, one falling at the location where Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was present, and another falling at Morteza Khamenei's residence and the home of his brother-in-law downstairs. Hosseini said, "The power of the missile was extremely strong, directly penetrating to the rooms below."
It is reported that the scene of the air strike was extremely tragic. Morteza's wife and son were killed on the spot, and his brother-in-law was beheaded. The highest-ranking military commander, Mohammad Harezi, was blown to pieces and could not be identified, and only some fragments of the body were collected afterwards.
Mustafa Khamenei, the eldest son of Khamenei, and his wife survived the attack and were successfully rescued without serious injury.
Hosseini said that the U.S. and Israel simultaneously attacked multiple locations in the leadership residential area, including the residence of the Supreme Leader, apparently intending to exterminate the Khamenei family.
After being elected as the new Supreme Leader, Morteza has remained unseen in public, and there have been rumors about his health. Previously, it was claimed that he had a leg injury, but the specific details of the injury or the extent of the damage were not disclosed. Recently, a Kuwaiti media reported that under the suggestion of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Morteza is receiving treatment in Moscow, Russia.
On the 17th, U.S. President Donald Trump said, "Many people say he is very seriously injured, some say he has lost a leg," "We can't see him (expose himself)," "We can't even confirm whether he is alive. No one has seen him, which is too suspicious."
The Iranian government denied the rumors about his health. On the 15th, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said, "The Supreme Leader's health is very perfect, and he is in full control of all affairs."
