Tehran releases footage showing ruins of late Iranian leader’s compound

Footage released during Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's funeral shows extensive damage to his Tehran compound from the joint US-Israeli strike that killed him.

  • On Wednesday, the supreme leader's website released 50-second footage showing destruction inside "Imam Khomeini's Husseiniyah at the Leader's residence," which the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-run Fars News Agency shared with pro-regime outlets.
  • A joint operation by the United States and Israel destroyed the compound on February 28, killing Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and triggering the current succession and funeral proceedings.
  • Visuals reveal warped support beams and debris buried under dirt, providing the first public interior view of the Husseiniyah following the February strike after satellite imagery showed only exterior damage.
  • Iraqi Prime Minister Ali and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian received the coffin at Najaf International Airport on Wednesday as the multi-day funeral procession arrived in Iraq.
  • Continuing to Karbala before returning to Iran for burial in Mashhad, the procession consolidates succession under Mojtaba, who succeeded his father following the February strike.
