An assassination attempt on Ali Khamenei occurred on 27 June 1981. When he gave the speech for prayers at the Aboozar Mosque, a bomb in the tape recorder placed in front of him exploded and his arm, vocal chords and lungs were seriously injured. Five days after Banisadr was deposed, the news of the day was about the Iran–Iraq War after the declaration of armed conflict. On 27 June 1981, while Ali Khamenei had returned from frontline and visited the Ayatollah Khomeini, he went to the Aboozar Mosque to giving speech to prayers as per his Saturday schedule.
