Kyiv • UNN
The US President stated that Mojtaba Khamenei has not been seen in public since his appointment. The Iranian leader was injured during recent US bombings.
US President Donald Trump does not know if Iran's new supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei, who has not appeared in public for several days after the announcement of his appointment, is even alive, UNN reports with reference to CNN.
Many people say he is badly disfigured - they say he lost a leg, one leg, and that he was very badly injured, others say he is dead, no one says he is 100% healthy
So, it could be for many different reasons. We don't know... whether he's dead or not. Now that his appointment has been announced, I will say that no one has seen him, which is unusual
Let's add
Khamenei suffered a broken foot and other minor injuries on the first day of bombings by the US and Israel, a source familiar with the situation told CNN. According to the source, the 56-year-old Khamenei also suffered a bruise under his left eye, as well as small lacerations on his face.
The leader's absence from public view has led to numerous speculations about his status. On Monday, the New York Post reported that Trump had been briefed on Khamenei's possible homosexuality — a report that White House communications director Steven Cheung reposted on X, writing: "Interesting reports coming out of Tehran lately."
