Ali Shamkhani, a key political advisor to Iran’s Supreme Leader, is reportedly still undergoing treatment after being seriously injured in an Israeli attack on his residence on the morning of June 13.
Initial reports and even a public banner suggested his death, but Iranian officials swiftly refuted these claims, confirming his survival and hospitalisation.
According to an interview with the head of his medical team, significant progress has been made in controlling his injuries, and his condition has been "relatively stable" since June 15.
However, due to severe internal complications from the explosion, a definitive statement about his long-term recovery is not yet possible, though the treatment process continues to advance, according to the medical head.
Shamkhani is a prominent figure in Iranian politics, having previously served as Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council.
His family, particularly his sons, have been widely linked to lucrative oil sales. Public attention was drawn to Shamkhani's luxurious residence after the strike, providing a glimpse into the lifestyle of high-ranking officials.
Recent Israeli attacks have targeted and killed multiple senior Iranian figures, among them military commanders, nuclear scientists, and intelligence officials.
The latest reported fatalities include Mohammad Kazemi, who led the Intelligence Agency of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), his deputy Hassan Mohaqqeq, and Mohsen Bagheri.
