Iranian state media on Saturday aired an interview in which it was said to be Ali Shamkhani - a close aide to Iran's supreme leader who had previously been reported dead by both Israeli and Iranian authorities.

According to CNN, mystery grew surrounding Shamkhani's fate in the days after he was reported dead following Israel's June 13 attacks on Iran.

Last Friday, multiple Iranian media outlets – including IRNA, Tasnim and Fars – claimed that Shamkhani had not died, but was instead “seriously injured and hospitalized.”

Shamkhani then appeared in photographs from Iranian state media coverage of Saturday's state funeral for those killed during the 12-day conflict with Israel.

On the same day, Iranian state news agency IRIB broadcast what it called Shamkhani's first television interview with Iranian state media since the attack.

CNN emphasizes that it cannot independently verify his identity or the date the interview was recorded.

As media outlets point out, Shamkhani is shown holding a walking stick and using a breathing apparatus.

He refers to an Israeli attack on his home, saying he was trapped by rubble for three hours after the attack.

"I said my morning prayer while I was under the rubble," he is quoted as saying.

IRIB also published footage of what it said was Shamkhani's house, transformed.

"At first I thought it was an earthquake. But when I heard the noise of the vehicles, I realized it wasn't," he said in the interview, adding that he suffered internal injuries in the attack and that his rib cage was broken.

"I know why they targeted me, but I can't say it," he added.
