INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei attended a religious event on Saturday, according to a video carried by state television,
after reports that he was in a “secure location” since the start of a 12-day air war with Israel in which top Iranian commanders and
nuclear scientists were killed, Reuters reported.
The video carried by state media showed dozens attending a ceremony to mark Ashura, the
holiest day of the Shi’ite Muslim calendar, standing chanting as Khamenei entered a hall where many government functions are held.
For
apparent security reasons, Khamenei had issued pre-taped messages during the war which started on June 13, and avoided public
appearances.
On June 26, in pre-recorded remarks aired on state television, Khamenei promised that Iran would not surrender despite U.S
President Donald Trump’s calls, read the report.
