"He was also there and he was injured in that bombardment but I haven't seen that reflected in the foreign news. I have heard that he was injured in his legs and hand and arm. I think he is in the hospital because he is injured."
"The [late] supreme leader was killed with his wife, with his daughter, with his son-in-law and with his daughter's 14-month-old baby. They were inside their house near the presidential office. Top commanders were also killed as they were also invited."
"I don't think he is comfortable [in any condition] to give a speech. The attack occurred on the opening day of US-led airstrikes against Iran, when the sprawling presidential complex in the heart of Tehran was targeted."
During US-led airstrikes on Iran's presidential complex in Tehran on February 28, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed along with multiple family members including his wife Mansour, daughter, son-in-law, and grandchild. His son Mojtaba Khamenei, who succeeded him as supreme leader, sustained injuries to his legs, hand, and arm in the same attack. The ambassador to Cyprus confirmed Mojtaba remained hospitalized due to his injuries and had not made public appearances or statements since assuming leadership. The strike occurred on the tenth day of Ramadan and also killed top military commanders who were present at the residence near the presidential office.
