According to the publication, Mojtaba Khamenei was inside the same building as his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, where a high-level leadership meeting was reportedly in progress at the time of the attack.
The report states that it obtained an audio recording attributed to the Supreme Leader’s head of protocol, identified as Mazhar Hosseini, and claims the recording has been verified.
Based on the audio, Mojtaba Khamenei had stepped out of the meeting room moments before the strike and moved toward a garden area, which helped him avoid the direct impact of the missile. He reportedly sustained only a minor leg injury.
The recording further suggests that he was on the staircase outside the room when the missile hit the building.
The February 28 strike allegedly resulted in the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, a development that, if confirmed, would mark a significant escalation in regional tensions.
