US EditionTrump Confirms CIA Briefed Him That Iran's New Supreme Leader May Be Gay
Trump confirmed CIA briefings on Iran’s new leader’s alleged sexuality, a claim disputed as a psychological operation, while noting Iran’s strict anti-LGBTQ+ laws and political implications.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump confirmed that the Central Intelligence Agency briefed him on intelligence suggesting Iran's new supreme leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, may be gay, stating, "Well, they did say that," without verifying the information's reliability.
- The New York Post reported earlier this month that U.S. intelligence officials suggested the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei opposed his son Mojtaba's succession partly over alleged concerns regarding his sexuality, a claim Trump reportedly found amusing.
- Sources told Zeteo the allegations were fabricated by Trump administration officials and outside allies as a psychological operation, with one official citing a group chat titled "gayatollah" to amuse themselves with the made-up claims.
- Publicizing unverified claims about the supreme leader's sexuality poses severe risks for LGBTQ+ Iranians, who face systemic persecution and death under Iranian law; the regime has executed an estimated 4,000 to 6,000 LGBTQ+ individuals since the 1979 revolution.
- Critics argue that reducing LGBTQ+ people to a political talking point complicates diplomacy and undermines intelligence credibility during the conflict with Iran, raising concerns about the politicization of human rights in wartime.
