Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the attack on Supreme Leader Khamenei's compound struck on Saturday at 9:00 AM Jerusalem time, while he was meeting with the chief of staff to deliver a negotiation report. He had earlier warned the president at 8:00 AM of a 'war atmosphere,' according to Israeli journalist Asaf Rosenzweig.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has provided a detailed timeline of the attack on Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's compound on Saturday, according to Israeli journalist Asaf Rosenzweig. Araghchi said he met with the president at 8:00 AM Jerusalem time and warned him of a 'war atmosphere.' He then met with Ali Asghar Mir Hejazi, the chief of staff to the Supreme Leader, at 9:00 AM to deliver a negotiation report. While discussing the tense war atmosphere, the compound was struck.
The new timeline expands on Araghchi's earlier remarks, reported by The Zioneer at 14:27 Jerusalem time, in which he indicated the attack occurred during a briefing on the war atmosphere. The addition of specific hours and the two sequential meetings gives a clearer picture of events leading up to the strike.
The attack on the leader's compound represents an unprecedented breach of security. The account comes from a single source, Rosenzweig, citing Araghchi's own statements. The precise nature of the attack and the damage inflicted remain unconfirmed.
