Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, the new supreme leader of Iran, is recovering from severe facial and leg injuries sustained in the airstrike on the first day of the war initiated by the US and Israel. The information, provided by Reuters, is based on statements from three sources close to the leader.
Khamenei's face has been disfigured, and he has serious injuries to his legs, but he is recovering and remains lucid. The sources state that, although he has not appeared in public or in video recordings since taking office on March 8, he participates in meetings via audio conference and is involved in important decisions, including those related to the war and negotiations with the US.
His recovery location remains unknown, and official statements about his condition are limited. One source suggests that new images of Khamenei could be published in the coming months, but his public appearance will depend on his health condition and the security situation. This information is also supported by statements from the US Secretary of Defense, who mentioned that Khamenei is injured and likely disfigured.
The airstrike on February 28 led to the death of his father, Ali Khamenei, and several other Iranian officials.
