U.S. intelligence reports indicate Mojtaba Khamenei is covertly steering Iran’s war effort despite severe injuries, while Tehran maintains he remains in good health.
U.S. intelligence sources report that Iran’s new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, 56, is actively directing war strategy and peace negotiations from a secret location. Despite being “badly disfigured” and losing a leg in the strikes that killed his father in February, officials say the cleric remains “mentally sharp” and avoids electronics to evade detection.
Iranian officials, however, dismiss these claims as “rumors.” Protocol chief Mazaher Hosseini insisted Friday that Khamenei “is now in complete health,” attributing any absence to minor shrapnel wounds. “He will speak to you when the time is right,” Hosseini assured. While Khamenei manages high-level diplomacy via couriers, IRGC officials reportedly oversee daily military operations. President Masoud Pezeshkian claimed a recent two-hour meeting with the leader, praising his “vision and humble approach.”
