Khamenei’s Right-Hand Man Shamkhani Recalls ‘Rising Lion’ Strike With Defiance| Times Now World

‘Not Afraid for One Moment’ — that’s how Ali Shamkhani, Khamenei’s right-hand man and a key architect of Iran’s security policy, described his harrowing escape from Israel’s ‘Rising Lion’ airstrike. In a televised interview, the former defense minister and ex-head of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council recounted being buried under rubble for three hours after his residence collapsed in the June 13 strike. Mistaking the blast for an earthquake at first, Shamkhani said he began digging with his feet to free himself and remained calm throughout. His survival is being portrayed in Iranian media as a symbol of divine protection and national resilience, especially amid heightened tensions following Tehran’s missile response to Israeli and U.S. attacks. #tnworld #timesnowworld #worldnews #internationalnews #timesnews #newsworld ​Subscribe now: http://bit.ly/3VHIl37 Times Now World is your definitive source for comprehensive global news and analysis.
