This marks the first time in modern history that Israel directly targeted Iran's supreme religious leader while simultaneously striking nuclear facilities with US support. The combination of religious leadership targeting (Khamenei), military infrastructure attacks, and nuclear facility destruction represents an unprecedented escalation in the ancient Persia-Israel conflict dynamic.

📰 What Happened
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, 85, made his first public appearance since the 12-day Iran-Israel conflict at Tehran's Imam Khomeini Mosque during an Ashura ceremony. His emergence follows intense speculation about his fate after Israel's June 13 surprise attack and subsequent US B-2 bomber strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities. The conflict resulted in multiple Iranian military leaders and nuclear scientists' deaths, while Iran launched significant retaliatory strikes on Tel Aviv.
📖 Prophetic Significance
Tehran's significance as the capital of modern Persia directly connects to Ezekiel's prophecies about Iran (ancient Persia). The targeting of both religious leadership (Khamenei) and nuclear capabilities mirrors the dual threat described in Ezekiel 38 - both military might and ideological leadership. The Imam Khomeini Mosque appearance during Ashura demonstrates the unbroken religious authority structure that will enable Iran's prophesied role in the Gog-Magog alliance. The survival of Iran's supreme leader despite Israel's most sophisticated attempts, using US B-2 bombers, suggests supernatural preservation of Iran's leadership for its future prophetic role.
