Iran's New Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei Has Not Made a Public Appearance

Iran's new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has not made a public appearance for a long time, sparking strong speculation about his serious injuries. In the face of rampant rumors, the son of the Iranian president and senior relatives urgently came forward to clarify, insisting that the new leader is "safe and sound."

A relative of Mojtaba told the Financial Times: "He is currently in good condition and is still busy with various tasks. For security and political reasons, he has decided not to make any public appearances for the time being. To some extent, this also creates uncertainty for his opponents, preventing them from getting accurate information about him. Let them guess slowly." The expert meeting did not clarify whether Khamenei was present during the meeting and did not provide details about the voting process.

Earlier reports indicated that Iran's ambassador to Cyprus, Alireza Salarian, stated in an interview that Iran's new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei was injured in the airstrikes by the United States and Israel on February 28.
