Iran's official claim that its new Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has fully healed after sustaining injuries during a joint US-Israeli attack on the first day of the war earlier this year. The claim was dismissed by reports that he had undergone facial surgery.
Iran has claimed that its new Supreme Leader has fully healed after sustaining injuries during a joint US-Israeli attack on the first day of the war earlier this year.
The Middle Eastern nation previously said Mojtaba Khamenei was suffering from a 'small scratch behind the ear' despite reports claiming he had undergone facial surgery. In the regime's first public comments on his injuries, a senior Iranian official said the supreme leader is in 'full health', according to local media. Khamenei has not been seen in public since sustaining injuries during a joint US-Israeli attack on the office compound of Iran's leadership on February 28.
According to Iran's Fars News Agency, Mazaher Hosseini, director general of protocol at the office of the supreme leader, said he was present at the compound during the attack. He said Khamenei was knocked to the ground by the blast wave while heading toward the residence and suffered injuries to his kneecap and lower back.
'The back injury has improved during this period, and the kneecap injury will soon heal as well. He is in full health,' Hosseini said, according to Fars. He also dismissed speculation over injuries to Khamenei's forehead, saying there was only a 'small crack behind the ear'
