Iran's New Leader Injured at Family Gathering — Situation More Dramatic Than Karosta Prison
Mojtaba Khamenei became Iran's leader after a family meeting ended with a visit from the US and Israel. In Liepāja, such a situation would be called poor party planning.
A family drama has unfolded in Iran's diplomatic world that surpasses even the tourist horror experience of Karosta Prison. Mojtaba Khamenei, who just became the country's leader, was previously injured in the same attack where he lost his father, mother, and wife.
Iranian ambassador Alireza Salarians explained the situation with the same enthusiasm as a Liepāja tour guide telling legends about prison ghosts. "He was also there and was injured in this bombing," the diplomat noted, adding that foreign media somehow missed this important detail.
According to the ambassador, the new leader is lying in a hospital with injuries to his legs and arms, which isn't particularly practical for starting a political career. "I think he's in the hospital," the ambassador speculated with the same confidence as a tourist who isn't sure whether they actually heard ghost screams in Karosta Prison or just a tram.
In Liepāja, organizing such family events is called "Riga style" — lots of noise, messy results, and everyone ends up fleeing to the hospital. Local resident Jānis comments: "At our family celebrations, we at most cut someone's finger, but these people immediately lose the whole family. That's just an exaggeration."
