Leaked Audio and the February 28 US–Israel Strikes: What the Claims on Mojtaba Khamenei Suggest
The UK-based newspaper The Telegraph has drawn international attention after publishing what it describes as a leaked audio recording linked to the February 28 US–Israel strikes on Iran. According to the publication, the leaked audio offers a detailed account of events inside the compound of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, including claims about how he was killed and how his son, Mojtaba Khamenei, narrowly avoided being caught in the attack.

The leaked audio has not been independently verified, and its authenticity remains uncertain. The Probe has not been able to confirm the recording. Nonetheless, the material, as described by The Telegraph, contains detailed assertions about the sequence of events during the February 28 US–Israel strikes. Among these is the claim that Mojtaba Khamenei survived because he had stepped into his garden shortly before missiles struck the residence — a detail that, if accurate, would suggest a narrowly avoided fatality at the centre of Iran’s leadership.
Inside the Leaked Audio: Claims Around Mojtaba Khamenei and the US–Israel Strikes
In its reporting, The Telegraph states that the voice in the leaked audio is believed to be that of Mazaher Hosseini, identified as a senior official responsible for protocol in Ali Khamenei’s office, addressing clerics and members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The publication describes the recording as the first purported insider account of what unfolded during the US–Israel strikes on the compound. According to the claims attributed to the speaker, Mojtaba Khamenei sustained a leg injury, while other members of his family were killed in the strike. These assertions remain unverified and should be treated with caution.

The report further states that the leaked audio includes claims regarding the targeting of Mohammad Shirazi, described as a senior military aide with close links to Iran’s leadership structure. According to the account cited by The Telegraph, Shirazi was seen as a key intermediary between the Supreme Leader’s office and the military establishment, with extensive knowledge of personnel and operational matters.
The recording alleges that he was killed during the US–Israel strikes, in what is described as a highly destructive attack. These details, like others in the audio, have not been independently confirmed.
If the leaked audio were to be substantiated, it would offer a rare and direct account of the human impact of the February 28 US–Israel strikes — particularly at the highest levels of Iran’s political and military leadership. For now, however, it remains one version of events, shaped by a source whose credibility has yet to be established.

Even so, the episode highlights the broader consequences of the US–Israel strikes and the conflict that has followed. The developments since February 28 have widened the arc of instability, with effects extending beyond immediate military outcomes to economic pressures and regional security concerns. In conflicts of this scale, the consequences rarely remain contained, and the implications continue to unfold well beyond the initial point of impact.
