The Khamenei image before assassination has reportedly been released by Iranian state media, according to the source text. The image is described as a CCTV frame taken at the office of Iran’s late supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, shortly before the airstrike mentioned in the report.
According to the same account, the final image shows Khamenei reciting the Holy Quran. The source says the frame was taken moments before the attack and later distributed by Iranian state media.
The source says the reported image was captured from CCTV footage inside the late leader’s office. It also states that Iranian state media released the image publicly after his death.
That detail is central to the story because it frames the image as one of the last known visuals of Khamenei before the strike described in the report.
What the source says about Khamenei’s death
The source states that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei died at age 86 in a large-scale air attack on Iran by the United States and Israel on February 28. It identifies him as Iran’s supreme leader and says he had previously served as the country’s third president from 1981 to 1989.

It also says his time as supreme leader lasted 36 years and six months, making him the longest-serving head of state in West Asia at the time of his death.
In addition, the source recalls an earlier assassination attempt against Khamenei. It says he narrowly survived a 1981 bombing in which an explosive hidden in a tape recorder detonated beside him at Aboozar Mosque.
The account adds that he had returned from the frontline before going to the mosque, where he followed his usual Saturday routine and addressed worshippers after the first prayer.
