Iran’s new Supreme Leader safe despite injury reports

Iran’s new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is reportedly “safe and sound” following unconfirmed reports of an injury during the ongoing war, a government adviser said.

Yousef Pezeshkian, son of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, told Instagram followers that he had inquired with contacts and was assured that Khamenei had not been harmed.

State television had earlier referred to Khamenei as a “wounded veteran of the Ramadan war” but did not provide details about the alleged injury.
