Iran’s Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, has been described as being in “full health” after sustaining wounds during a joint US-Israeli attack on the leadership compound last February.
The remarks have marked the first official statement detailing the leader’s condition since the wartime strikes on 28 February.
According to the Fars News Agency, protocol director Mazaher Hosseini said Khamenei suffered wounds during strikes targeting the compound on February 28.
Hosseini, who was present during the attack, reported that several sites were “flattened,” including the location where the then-supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, was killed.
