Iran's Mojtaba Khamenei Pulled From Rubble After Hospital Strike, Assembly Details Selection
Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei was reportedly pulled from the rubble of a Tehran hospital after it was struck during US and Israeli attacks following earlier strikes that killed his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in February. Mohsen Heydari, a member of Iran's Assembly of Experts, revealed that Khamenei was unaware of his selection as supreme leader until it was publicly announced. The Assembly's secretariat was also targeted during the strikes, complicating the leadership selection process. Khamenei has remained out of public view since.
