Mojtaba Khamenei was pulled from rubble after a hospital bombing, according to NDTV Profit, which attributed the account to a cleric. The New York Post and Rediff reported he was pulled from rubble after U.S. strikes, while the Jerusalem Post reported that Khamenei had been injured before the Iran war and pulled from rubble.

Khamenei was subsequently selected as Iran’s new supreme leader in a secret vote. Inshorts reported that he received 50 of the 59 votes cast and did not know he had been chosen until he saw the news on television. The Palestine Chronicle also described the selection as taking place in a secret room and involving 50 votes.
