Mojtaba Khamenei ‘pulled from the rubble’ after Tehran hospital was bombed, cleric claims

Iran's Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, was reportedly rescued from the debris of a Tehran hospital following US and Israeli strikes, according to claims made by a senior Iranian cleric named Mohsen Heydari. Heydari, a member of Iran's Assembly of Experts, asserted in an interview with the Qatari channel Al Araby that Khamenei had been wounded in prior attacks and had been taken to a hospital.

However, the hospital subsequently came under attack, along with two others in Tehran. Khamenei was subsequently moved to an undisclosed location, and has not been seen or heard from publicly since. The claims made by Heydari have not been confirmed by the US, Israel, or the Iranian government.
