US EditionIran’s Mojtaba Khamenei ‘safe and sound’ despite war injury reports: President’s son
Mojtaba Khamenei, 56, was lightly injured during initial Israel-US strikes but remains operational and sheltered, with limited communication, officials said.
- On Wednesday, Yousef Pezeshkian, a government adviser, said 'I heard news that Mr Mojtaba Khamenei had been injured. I have asked some friends who had connections. They told me that, thank God, he is safe and sound', affirming the leader's safety despite injury reports.
- Three Iranian sources said Khamenei was injured on February 28, and Israeli assessments suggested leg injuries occurred that day, before he was selected as supreme leader Sunday.
- Supporters rallied in Enghelab Square as Iranian state media depicted Khamenei as a 'wounded war veteran' with his face on giant billboards and murals in Tehran.
- The army and IRGC pledged allegiance, and Emile Hokayem said 'Killing him early is certainly an Israeli priority' amid questions about Khamenei’s full authority.
- Israel reportedly attempted to strike the Assembly of Experts last week, the Israel Defense Forces warned successor selectors they could be targeted, and the U.N. Security Council was set to vote on a Gulf Cooperation Council resolution on Wednesday.
