Judiciary Chief Sadeq Amoli Larijani, Guardian Council Secretary Ahmad Jannati, and grandson of the late Imam Khomeini, Seyed Hassan Khomeini, are among the figures and officials who have visited the Leader at the hospital.
Former Health Minister Dr. Alireza Marandi who is now a ranking member of the parliament's Health and Treatment Commission and also heads the Leader's medical team, told FNA that "the leader emphasized that he did not intend to cause any trouble for other patients and that's why he went to the hospital very early in the morning to go under the operation."
"His Excellency also stressed that the operation should be done at a public hospital," he added.
Dr. Marandi, who is also the President of Iran's Academy of Medical Sciences, said that the leader has demanded him to inform the public of his "good health conditions following the surgery".
Dr. Marandi said like the other patients who have undergone a similar operation, the Leader will be hospitalized for 3 to 5 days. Then, he can return to normal life, but he should avoid a heavy working agenda for a few weeks, Dr. Marandi added.
