Despite reports of injuries during recent US and Israeli attacks, Iran’s new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei (56), is confirmed “safe and sound,” according to Yousef Pezeshkian, son of Iran’s president.
State media called him a “wounded veteran” without details, and Khamenei hasn’t appeared publicly since succeeding his late father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, fueling speculation.
The New York Times cited anonymous sources claiming he was hurt on the opening day of the attacks—but Pezeshkian’s statement aims to calm fears.
As Iran faces rising tensions, all eyes are now on Khamenei’s leadership.
