Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has presumably survived Operation Epic Fury, according to the country’s foreign minister.
Khamenei is alive “as far as I know” Abbas Araghchi told NBC News after the joint US-Israel attack leveled numerous buildings at the leader’s fortified compound.
At least two Iranian commanders were killed in the attack, but many senior officials had survived, he continued.
It is not clear if Khamenei was at the compound at the time of the attack.
