Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf said officials knew with certainty only an hour after Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei's home was bombed, according to a report. Ghalibaf provided behind-the-scenes details of the assassination.
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf has provided a public account of the first hours after the elimination of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, stating that senior officials knew with certainty only an hour after his home was struck. The remarks, published Sunday, offer a rare glimpse into the immediate aftermath of the July strike that killed Iran's long-time leader.
Ghalibaf, who has been a central figure in Iran's post-assassination response, previously threatened punishment for those responsible and vowed the 'liberation of Jerusalem' as the final stage of revenge, as The Zioneer reported. He has also been the subject of an IRGC investigation into a security leak at a Khamenei meeting, which named his son as a suspect. The new disclosure adds to the evolving narrative of how Iran's leadership processed the assassination.
The report is based on a single source and further details remain unconfirmed.
