Recording Reveals: Mojtaba Khamenei Narrowly Escaped Assassination by Stepping Outside
ההקלטה שחושפת: מוג'תבא חמינאי יצא רגע לחצר – וניצל מחיסול
Summary
A recording obtained by the British Telegraph reveals that Mojtaba Khamenei, heir apparent to the Supreme Leader, survived the opening strike of the war only because he had stepped outside for a walk in the courtyard moments before the missile hit. The recording features a senior official from the late Ali Khamenei's office briefing other senior figures on the results of the strike, which killed the Supreme Leader and much of the regime's top leadership. Mojtaba was reportedly climbing the stairs when the missile struck, having just returned from the courtyard.
