The US-Israel alliance's attack on Iran and Iran's response is on everyone's agenda... While developments in the region are closely monitored, Israeli-born human rights activist David Keyes made a highly controversial claim regarding the assassination of Iran's religious leader Khamenei.
The Iranian religious leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei died in the attacks launched by the US and Israel on February 28. Iranian state television used the expression, "The leader of the Iranian Islamic revolution has reached martyrdom." The Iranian government also declared a 40-day national mourning and a 7-day official holiday following Khamenei's death.
WAS A LISTENING DEVICE PLACED IN HIS RING?
While discussions were ongoing about who would succeed Khamenei, Israeli-born human rights activist David Keyes made a claim that would spark much conversation. David Keyes suggested that a listening device was placed in Khamenei's ring, stating, "I was hesitant to disclose this, but since he has returned home, I can share that the name of the Mossad agent who placed the listening device in Khamenei's ring is Shama Hakol. Shama is a very close friend of mine and took an enormous risk for this mission. One day, it will definitely be a movie subject."
FAMILY MEMBERS WERE ALSO KILLED
In a report by the Fars News Agency, close to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, it was confirmed that some of Khamenei's family members lost their lives in the US-Israel attacks. It was reported that Khamenei's daughter, son-in-law, grandchild, and one of his daughters-in-law died in the US-Israel attack on the area where Khamenei's home and office are located.
CHILD OF A AZERBAIJANI TURK FAMILY
Born on April 19, 1939, in Mashhad, northeastern Iran, Khamenei's father, Ayatollah Javad Khamenei, was a cleric of Azerbaijani descent. His family belonged to the Azerbaijani Turkish community in Iran. Known as one of Ayatollah Khomeini's closest collaborators, Khamenei became a key figure in the construction of the new regime by holding critical positions such as Minister of Defense and President for two terms during the post-revolutionary period.
IRAN'S STRONGEST FIGURE FOR 37 YEARS
Since 1989, Ali Khamenei has held the position of "Leader," the highest decision-making authority in Iran, leaving significant marks on Iran's domestic and foreign policy throughout his political career.
