Mojtaba Khamenei Only Survived The Strike That Killed His Father Because He Had Stepped Out For a Walk: Report

New Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei only survived the strike that killed his father and other top officials because he had stepped outside for a walk a minutes prior, according to a new report.

An audio obtained by British outlet The Telegraph detailed that Khamenei went outside to "do something" just before the strikes. The outlet claimed that the audio was sent by Mazaher Hosseini, head of protocol for Ali Khamenei's office, to top officials to describe how the attack unfolded.

Hosseini confirmed that Khamenei was lightly injured in one of his legs and that his wife and son were killed, as they all lived in the same compound as his father, which was targeted in the February 28 attack that began the war.

"These devils had considered several locations within the office complex to strike. One of them was the place of the supreme leader," Hosseini said during a passage of the message. That location was hit with three missiles, he added.

Mojtaba Khamenei has not been seen or heard since the attack, prompting many to question his state. President Donald Trump did so on Monday, saying that the fact that nobody has seen him is "unusual."

Elsewhere, Democratic Sen. John Fetterman called for proof of life, saying he thinks the "Iranians are doing kind of a Weekend at Ayatollah's, trying to pretend this guy is functional or even alive at this point," in reference to the popular 80s movie where two men pretend their dead boss is alive to avoid becoming suspects of his death.

Networks tied to the regime released on Thursday Khamenei's first message as the country's supreme leader. However, it was not a video message or a recording, but rather a written document attributed to him.

There, he allegedly said that Iran will seek keep the Strait of Hormuz closed and continue attacking U.S. bases in the region. He added that Tehran will seek compensation from the U.S. for the attacks, and if Washington refuses it will destroy assets equivalent to the amount it claims it's owed.

Moreover, he warned that more "fronts" will be opened if the war continues, claiming that the "enemy" has "little experience" fighting in them and "will be severely vulnerable."

"In the recent attack, some military bases were used, and naturally, as we had explicitly warned and without any aggression towards those countries, we only targeted those bases. From now on, we will inevitably continue this action, although we still believe in the necessity of friendship between ourselves and those neighbors," reads a passage of the letter.

As a result, he urged Gulf States to "clarify their stance towards the aggressors of our dear homeland and the killers of our people."
