Ayatollah Mohsen Heydari, a member of Iran's Assembly of Experts, in an interview with Al Araby:

Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei was wounded during the February 28 attacks on the leadership office. Once it became known he had been hospitalized, three separate hospitals in Tehran were bombed. He was inside the third one when it was hit and was pulled out from under the debris.

Heydari said the Assembly of Experts later received information that Khamenei is in good health, meets the religious and managerial requirements of the post, and remains fully capable of leading the country.

Sixty-two of 86 members of Iran's Assembly of Experts signed a letter demanding negotiators respect Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei's red lines, calling any deviation a religious violation.

Sixty-two of 86 members of Iran's Assembly of Experts signed a letter demanding negotiators respect Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei's red lines, calling any deviation a religious violation.

The statement insists nuclear rights are non-negotiable, the Strait of Hormuz must remain under Iranian control, all sanctions must be lifted, U.S. forces must leave the region, and compensation for war damages must be paid. It also demands revenge for the former Supreme Leader and calls for Trump and Netanyahu to face justice.

The assembly warned reopening the strait would be a strategic error, accused the U.S. of buying time ahead of midterm elections, and urged the public to stay in the streets.
