Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, the Speaker of the Parliament, said: On the first day of the war, on March 9, we realized one hour after the bombing that our leader had been killed.

He continued: By the time we managed to gather the heads of the branches of government and Larijani arrived, it was eight o'clock in the evening. There, we decided to announce the news of the leader's death the next morning. After this meeting, we quickly dispersed.

He added: Later, we decided to announce the news of the leader's death that dawn and tell the people to come to the streets.

Qalibaf states that he was certain of Khamenei's death in that first hour, while officials of the Islamic Republic denied the news of Khamenei's death until the early morning of the next day, claiming he was present in the command room and was leading the war.
