Iranian officials have revealed new details regarding the health condition of Mojtaba Khamenei, confirming that his residence was bombed on the first day of the war on Iran, last February 28. The strike resulted in the deaths of his wife, Zahra Haddad Adel, and his brother-in-law.

Mazaher Hosseini, Director of Protocol at the Office of the Iranian Supreme Leader, stated that Mojtaba sustained injuries to his knee and back, as well as a minor injury behind his ear caused by the blast wave. Hosseini confirmed that Mojtaba is currently in good health and continues to oversee state affairs, negotiations, and the ongoing war.

These statements come amid US reports highlighting Mojtaba Khamenei’s pivotal role in managing Iran’s strategy during the war, which coincides with his absence from public view since the attacks began.
