165 days after the killing of Ali Khamenei, the mayor of Tehran told the Students News Agency that on the ninth of Esfand, a missile hit directly the home of Mojtaba Khamenei. According to Alireza Zakani, the new leader and his wife were leaving the house when, during this attack, Mojtaba Khamenei was wounded and his wife was killed.

Mohammad-Javad Akbarin, a member of the editorial team at Iran International, referring to these remarks, said that the absence of any image, video, or handwritten note from the new leader of the Islamic Republic raises doubts about the story of his being in full health and reinforces the hypothesis that he was injured.
