Channel 14 and Arab networks published footage from the destroyed Imam Khomeini Hussainiya in Tehran, where Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was killed in the March US strike. The video shows the devastated structure, which officials say will become a memorial and pilgrimage site.
First footage from the interior of the Imam Khomeini Hussainiya in Tehran has emerged — the site where Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was killed in the March 2026 US strike. Published by Channel 14 and Arab networks, the video shows collapsed walls and ceiling, with rubble visible throughout. According to the broadcast, the site is expected to be transformed into a memorial and pilgrimage destination, drawing comparisons to the shrine of former Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani.
This development follows a series of reports today (all published at 15:11 Jerusalem): initial unverified claims that Khamenei was killed in his home and his son Mojtaba survived; then Iranian state television aired images of the destruction at his home; subsequent Iranian media footage showed the compound in ruins; and Ynet released new footage of the residence. The corroboration evolved from a single unverified source to multiple news outlets and official Iranian broadcasts. The new footage is the first visual evidence from the interior of the Hussainiya itself — the large religious and political auditorium where Khamenei held meetings with senior officials — which was destroyed in the opening strike of Operation Roaring Lion.
As The Zioneer reported in recent weeks, Tehran completed preparations for a massive funeral for Khamenei in early July (published Wed Jul 1, 16:42 Jerusalem), and aerial footage showed millions attending the funeral (published Mon Jul 6, 09:32 Jerusalem). Satellite imagery also documented damage to Iranian military assets during the operation (published Sun Jun 21, 16:39 Jerusalem).
No official Iranian confirmation of this latest footage has been issued, and the exact date of the recording remains unclear.
