According to Hosseini, Mojtaba survived as he went outside to the garden just before the missile attack on the leader\u2019s building, while his wife haddad was killed and Mojtaba sustained only a minor leg injury; his current whereabouts remain unclear. The recording portrays the opening strikes of Operation Roaring Lion and Operation Epic Fury as wiping out dozens of senior Iranian leaders, including names such as the Defense Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh, the head of the IRGC Mohammad Pakpour, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >armed forces chief<\/a> of staff Abdolrahim Mousavi, with the account also citing the deaths of other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fed-found-economy-is-recovering-much-faster-than-officials-expected\/\" title=\"Fed Found Economy Is Recovering Much Faster Than Officials Expected\">top officials<\/a> and widespread leadership losses. It recounts specific blows to Khamenei\u2019s inner circle, such as the destruction of a room onc used by Mojtaba\u2019s relative Misbah al Huda Bagheri Kani. The material further suggests Mojtaba\u2019s status is unknown beyond a televised written statement, and notes that former U.S. President Donald Trump has publicly speculated that Mojtaba may be dead. The Telegraph presents this as a first detailed narrative of the strike, but emphasizes that the content is leaked and not independently verified.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Leaked audio reveals new Iranian <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ayatollah-iran-in-no-hurry-to-see-u-s-return-to-nuclear-deal\/\" title=\"Ayatollah: Iran in no hurry to see U.S. return to nuclear deal\">supreme leader<\/a> survived strike because he went outside<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2534214\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Leaked audio revealed that new <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/iran\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"100\">Iranian<\/a> Ayatollah <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/mojtaba-khamenei\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"21453\">Mojtaba Khamenei<\/a> survived the strike that killed his father due to a sudden decision to go outside.<\/p>\n<p>The <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/world-news\/2026\/03\/16\/exclusive-mojtaba-khamenei-escaped-death-leaked-audio\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/world-news\/2026\/03\/16\/exclusive-mojtaba-khamenei-escaped-death-leaked-audio\/\">audio<\/a>, obtained by the <em>Telegraph<\/em>, captured the words of Mazaher Hosseini, head of protocol for former Ayatollah Ali Khamenei&rsquo;s office, who was briefing Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commanders on what transpired around the assassination of the former supreme leader.
