The New York Times reported that Iran's new religious leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, was wounded on the first day of the war. However, Iranian officials have denied this information.
According to publication sources, Mojtaba Khamenei was wounded in the leg during the attacks that occurred on February 28, and for this reason, he has not appeared in public or made official statements since his selection. It is also noted that he is currently being kept in a specially guarded location.
At the same time, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian denied these reports. He emphasized that Khamenei is in good health and that information about him being wounded does not correspond to the truth.
For information, on March 8, Iran's official media announced that Mojtaba Khamenei had been selected as the country's new supreme religious leader. He is considered the second son of the late Ali Khamenei.
