The American secret services informed Donald Trump that Mojtaba Khamenei is homosexual. The US president reportedly laughed out loud.

According to an article in the New York Post, U.S. spies informed President Donald Trump that Mojtaba Khamenei, the new supreme leader of Iran, may have a homosexual sexual orientation. This information is said to have also been known by his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who feared that his son is not 'fit' to lead the Islamic Republic. Trump reportedly reacted with laughter upon hearing this news, considering the conservatism of the Iranian regime. Sources cited by the New York Post mention a long-term relationship of Mojtaba with a childhood guardian, as well as recent aggressive sexual behaviors, possibly influenced by post-operative medications.

In Iran, homosexuality is punishable by death, and the regime is known for the public executions of gay individuals. Additionally, documents from 2008 suggest that Mojtaba traveled to the United Kingdom for medical treatments, and details about his current condition following the airstrike on February 28 remain unknown.
