US EditionIran's new Supreme Leader escaped death by seconds, leaked audio reveals
Leaked audio reveals Mojtaba Khamenei was lightly injured and escaped death by stepping outside moments before a coordinated missile strike killed senior Iranian leaders and family members.
- Leaked audio obtained by The Telegraph claims Mojtaba Khamenei stepped outside seconds before the Feb. 28, 2026 strike on the Khamenei compound. The audio came from remarks delivered by Mazaher Hosseini, head of protocol in Ali Khamenei’s office, during a March 12 meeting in Tehran.
- Targeting inside the Tehran compound aimed to eliminate senior officials, including Mohammad Shirazi, considered the crucial link between military command and the supreme leader, Hosseini said.

- Questions about succession intensified as Mojtaba Khamenei has not been seen since his election, opponents of hereditary succession voiced doubts, and an Iranian official said IRGC commanders 'have no news' about his condition.
- Conflicting updates suggest Mojtaba Khamenei is alive but badly injured, while Al-Jarida, Kuwaiti newspaper, unverifiedly reported he was flown to Moscow, Russia for a 'successful' operation.
