A man whose covered face drew widespread attention during the funeral of Iran’s slain supreme leader Ali Khamenei was his grandson, Mohammad Javad Khamenei who had been injured in the Feb. 28 attack, the Rokna news outlet reported.
The report said he is the son of Mostafa Khamenei, Khamenei’s eldest son, and is believed to be the late leader’s oldest grandson.
Rokna said Mohammad Javad Khamenei covered his face because he had suffered facial injuries and burns in an explosion while at the supreme leader’s residence on February 28.
There was speculation on Iranian social media that the masked man could be Iran’s new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, who has neither appeared in public nor released a voice message since the February attack that Tehran says injured him.
