Iran has released footage depicting damage inside the residence of leader Ali Khameni following strikes attributed to United States and Israeli forces. Reports from the Times of India describe these images as showing a battered compound in the aftermath of the strike.
According to News18, Khameni was killed on February 28, during the opening day of a series of strikes that led to significant conflict across West Asia. The Indian Express reports that funeral proceedings and burial took place on July 9, approximately four months after those initial strikes occurred. These images provide what some outlets describe as the first footage of the interior damage following the strike.
