WATCH: Iranian regime publishes footage of Khamenei's prayer room destroyed in February strikes

Footage revealing the interior ruins of a prayer room belonging to former Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has been released by his website. The short video clip depicts rubble, damaged support beams, and debris within what is identified as "Imam Khomeini's Husseiniyah at the Leader's residence," attached to his official dwelling.

The compound was reportedly destroyed on February 28 during a joint operation conducted by the United States and Israel against Iran. The article states that Khamenei himself was killed in this strike. While satellite imagery of the destruction was previously available, this is the first interior view to be released.

Ali Khamenei was succeeded by his son, Mojtaba, following the attack. The release of the footage coincides with a multi-day funeral procession for Khamenei, which began in Tehran and has now arrived in Iraq. Senior Iraqi officials, including Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi, received the coffin at Najaf International Airport. Najaf holds significant religious importance for Shi'ite Muslims as the burial place of Imam Ali.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and other Shi'ite religious figures were present at the airport ceremony. The procession is scheduled to continue to the Iraqi city of Karbala before returning to Iran for burial in Mashhad. The timing of the footage release, alongside the funeral ceremonies, adds a layer of significance to the ongoing narrative surrounding the former leader's demise and succession.
