Mojtaba Khamenei Suffered Injuries To Legs, Hand & Arm In Feb 28 Strike: Reports

Iran’s newly appointed Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, was injured during a strike on February 28 that killed several members of his family, including his father, the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, The Guardian reported, citing Iran’s ambassador to Cyprus. In an interview conducted at the Iranian embassy in Nicosia, Ambassador Alireza Salarian said the 56-year-old cleric survived the bombardment that destroyed his father’s residence in Tehran but sustained injuries to his limbs. The strike formed part of the opening phase of US-led airstrikes against Iran and triggered a broader escalation in the region. Ambassador Details Injuries According to the report, Salarian said Mojtaba Khamenei was present at the residence when the strike occurred and was fortunate to survive the bombardment that levelled the building. He said the cleric suffered injuries to his legs, hand and arm and is believed to be recovering in hospital. The ambassador suggested the injuries may explain why Khamenei has not appeared in public or delivered any statement since he succeeded his father as Iran’s supreme leader earlier this week. Several members of the Khamenei family were killed in the strike during the holy month of Ramadan. Those killed included the late supreme leader’s wife, daughter, son-in-law and a 14-month-old grandchild. Salarian also said several senior military commanders were among those killed after attending a gathering at the residence located near Tehran’s presidential complex. Reports Point To Additional Injuries Meanwhile, Mojtaba Khamenei also suffered a fractured foot and other minor injuries during the first day of the US and Israel’s bombardment campaign, a source familiar with the situation told CNN. The source said the injuries included a bruise around his left eye and minor cuts on his face, though Iranian authorities have not publicly detailed the extent of his condition. Earlier this week Yousef Pezeshkian, a senior government adviser and the son of Iran’s president, also said Mojtaba Khamenei had been wounded but did not elaborate on the circumstances. An Iranian official later told Reuters that the cleric had been “lightly injured” but continued to carry out his responsibilities. Iranian state television has described the new leader as a “wounded veteran of the Ramadan war”, though it did not provide details about the nature of his injuries. Western intelligence officials believe the cleric may be deliberately kept out of the public eye due to fears of possible assassination attempts as tensions continue to escalate. The leadership transition has drawn sharp international reactions. US President Donald Trump criticised Mojtaba Khamenei’s selection by a committee of clerics, while Israel has warned it would not hesitate to target the cleric, who is widely seen as sharing the hardline views of his father, who ruled Iran for nearly four decades.

Yass Queen: How the bumble stays alive underwater

Bumblebee queens possess a remarkable ability to survive underwater for days, a feat achieved through a combination of physiological strategies. When their burrows flood, these queens enter an ultra-low-power mode, drastically reducing their metabolic rate and relying on a physical gill and anaerobic metabolism to conserve energy and endure submersion until conditions improve.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei Injured During Early Strikes, Says Israeli Intelligence

Israeli intelligence believes Iran’s newly appointed Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, may have been wounded during the opening phase of the ongoing conflict, according to officials familiar with the assessment. Reports suggest the 56-year-old leader sustained injuries during the early stages of recent military strikes carried out by the United States and Israel. The development comes as tensions between Iran, Israel and the US intensify, with the conflict spilling into key regional shipping routes and strategic infrastructure, raising fears of wider instability across the Persian Gulf and broader Middle East. Leadership Uncertainty In Tehran Khamenei, 56, assumed the position of Supreme Leader earlier this week following the death of his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Since his appointment on Monday, Mojtaba Khamenei has not appeared in public, fuelling speculation about his condition and the stability of Iran’s leadership during a rapidly escalating confrontation with Israel and its allies. Regional Tensions Widen The conflict widened on Wednesday after Iran launched attacks on commercial vessels across the Persian Gulf and targeted Dubai International Airport. The strikes came as Israeli and American forces continued air operations against Iranian targets. Two Iranian drones struck near Dubai International Airport, one of the world’s busiest hubs for international travel and the home base of long-haul carrier Emirates. According to the Dubai Media Office, four people were wounded in the incident, though airport operations continued without major disruption. Iran’s joint military command also announced that it would begin targeting banks and financial institutions across the Middle East. Such threats could place key financial centres at risk, particularly Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, which hosts numerous international banks, as well as financial institutions in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. Earlier in the day, a projectile struck a Thai cargo vessel, the Mayuree Naree, near the Strait of Hormuz off the coast of Oman, setting the ship ablaze. Oman’s navy rescued 20 crew members, while authorities continue searching for three others reported missing, according to Thailand’s Marine Department.
