Reuters: Iran’s Mojtaba Khamenei recovering from severe injuries suffered in strike that killed his father
Reuters reported that Iran’s new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is still recovering from significant facial and leg injuries sustained in the airstrike that killed his father Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on February 28, the first day of the war, citing three people close to his inner circle.
His wife, brother-in-law, and sister-in-law were also killed in the strike.
The 56-year-old has not appeared in any photo, video, or audio recording since his appointment on March 8.
He is reportedly participating in meetings with senior officials via audio conferencing and remains involved in decision-making on the war and negotiations with Washington.
One source said images of Khamenei could be released within one to two months.
A US intelligence source told Reuters that Khamenei is believed to have lost a leg, consistent with earlier comments from US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth who said the leader was “wounded and likely disfigured.”
