As the eleventh day of the battle between israel and iran approaches, the united states has formally sided with Israel.
The Middle east is becoming increasingly tense as israel and iran continue to fire missiles at one another. Ayatollah ali Khamenei, the supreme Leader of iran, is in the news all over the world in the midst of this battle. One unexpected aspect of him that has drawn a lot of attention is that he only ever uses one hand in his public remarks and pictures. What is the cause of this, then?
Why does Khamenei use only one hand? The story behind it
The story begins in Tehran, Iran's capital, on june 27, 1981, according to media reports. Ayatollah Khamenei was speaking at Abuzar mosque on that particular day. A young man set up a tape recorder close to him during the event.
However, it included a hidden bomb and was more than just a tape recorder.
The gadget detonated with a thunderous blast as soon as it was turned on. Khamenei fell to the ground with severe injuries. The mosque was in complete disarray.
Khamenei primarily uses his left hand in public because his right hand has been partially disabled since the bombing.
In addition to keeping an eye on the missiles, the globe is also remembering important individuals like Khamenei, whose past is filled with tales of power and survival, as the Middle east war rages on and concerns of a wider battle increase.
Despite all odds, Khamenei survived after being declared dead by physicians.
Ayatollah Khamenei suffered serious injuries in the 1981 bombing, according to media reports. His right hand was paralyzed by the explosion, which also seriously burned one side of his chest and destroyed parts of his lungs and ear nerves. Additionally, fragments of the explosion became embedded in his right side.
His condition had gotten so bad by the time he was brought to the hospital that one physician even pronounced him dead. However, a group of other medical professionals persisted in doing surgery and managed to save his life.
His first question after the operation
Khamenei was unable to talk following the surgery. However, he penned the query, "Did my companions at the mosque get hurt?" with his left hand.
Everyone else was safe, he was informed.
"What has happened to me?" he then inquired. His right hand might never work again, the doctors explained.
"If my brain and tongue still work, I don't need my hand," Khamenei simply said.
Khamenei has used his left hand for everything since that day. He still carries that damage as a reminder of the attack and his survival, as his right hand has stayed permanently crippled.
