Iran's favored next supreme leader wounded in Israeli air attack: reports
|
[NYPOST] Mojtaba Khamenei — the expected next supreme leader — was reportedly wounded in an Israeli air strike.
The son of Iran's slain Ayatollah Ali Khamenei survived an assassination attempt made by Israel during the devastating launch of Lion's Roar military operation Feb. 28, which occurred in tandem with the US's Operation Epic Fury, Times of Israel reported on Saturday.
Other strikes in the joint military attack killed his father and roughly 40 other high-ranking Islamic Republic leaders.
Also killed was Mojtaba's wife, Zahra Haddad Adel, who came from a family long associated with the country's theocracy.
It's not clear if Mojtaba, 56, was with his father in the Ayatollah's compound that was decimated by airstrikes, or if he was targeted in a separate attack on the regime.
The details and extent of his injuries are also not clear.
