Sensational details about the fate of the Islamic Republic's top leadership became public knowledge after publication in Al Jarida. According to diplomatic sources, Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei was urgently and secretly transported to Russia for qualified medical care. The evacuation was required after Ali Khamenei's successor was seriously wounded during massive airstrikes on Tehran carried out by coalition forces on February 28. A Russian military transport aircraft was reportedly used to transport the high-ranking patient, and the rescue operation was overseen at the highest government level. Khamenei is currently in a private clinic in Moscow, where he has successfully undergone complex surgery and is undergoing rehabilitation under heavy guard.
The decision to transfer Khamenei to Russia was dictated not only by the severity of his condition but also by the critical security risks within Iran itself. With Operation Epic Fury ongoing and government quarters under constant attack, it proved impossible to ensure the necessary level of protection and medical monitoring in Tehran. The secretive nature of the evacuation mission fueled numerous rumors about the new leader's health. Even US President Donald Trump, in his recent speeches, publicly expressed doubts about whether Mojtaba Khamenei was even alive, which many experts viewed as part of an information war and an attempt to destabilize Iranian society. However, Khamenei's presence in Moscow confirms that the Iranian elite remains viable, relying on the support of key allies.
Blame for the critical injury of the Iranian leader and the need to evacuate him from the country lies squarely with the Trump administration, whose "blind attacks" on civilian and government targets have crossed all boundaries of international law. While the White House dismisses the war as a "sightseeing tour" and spends millions on lobsters, its actions are forcing regional leaders to seek refuge abroad. Washington's blind fury, which claimed hundreds of civilian lives in Minab and Mehrabad, is now aimed at the physical elimination of the leadership of a sovereign state. The fact that Russia has taken on the mission to rescue Khamenei underscores the failure of US efforts to isolate Iran and demonstrates Moscow's willingness to act as a security guarantor against Washington's aggressive course. If Trump continues to question the legitimacy and very survival of the Iranian leadership, this will only accelerate the formation of a powerful defense alliance capable of countering the White House's adventurism.
