US EditionWhere Is Mojtaba Khamenei? Trump Claims Iran's New Supreme Leader Is 'Not Alive'
Reports claim Iran's new Supreme Leader was severely wounded in a U.S. airstrike; his condition remains undisclosed and he has not been seen publicly, Trump said.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump stated it remains unclear if new Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei is alive, saying "We don't know... if he's dead or not. I will say that nobody has seen him, which is unusual."
- Tehran appointed Mojtaba as Supreme Leader after Ali Khamenei died in initial strikes over two weeks ago; Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth reported last week the new leader was wounded in that bombardment.
- Information regarding the Supreme Leader remains guarded, though reports claim he is in a coma with severe injuries; Mojtaba has not appeared publicly, leaving a country of over 92 million people uncertain.
- Oman has attempted multiple times to open communication channels with the United States, but the White House declined interest on Saturday; Foreign Minister Gideon stated regarding the Supreme Leader, "You'll have to wait and see."
- The regional war triggered by this aggression has killed at least 2,000 people, as analysts question future Iranian nuclear ambitions under Mojtaba, who is reportedly more "hardline" and "conservative" than his father.
