What happened
Mojtaba Khamenei, the 56-year-old son of former Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was reportedly pulled from the rubble of a hospital in Tehran after it was bombed by the US and Israel. This incident occurred after Khamenei had been rushed to the hospital due to injuries sustained in an earlier strike targeting his father's compound.
According to Iranian cleric Mohsen Heydari, Khamenei was in one of three hospitals bombed in Tehran on February 28. Heydari stated that Khamenei was pulled from the rubble and has since gone into hiding, with his current whereabouts unknown. Khamenei has not been seen in public or heard from since the incident.
Khamenei succeeded his father as supreme leader of Iran, despite reportedly being badly disfigured in the attacks. His health and status have been the subject of speculation, with US intelligence reports suggesting he was seriously wounded and President Trump stating that he believes Khamenei is alive but seriously injured.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has claimed that Khamenei is fully healthy and that they had recently met for about seven hours.
