Iran's new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, sustained injuries to his knee and lower back, as well as a cut behind his ear, following a US and Israeli airstrike. This was reported by the Al Araby news agency.
According to the report, Mojtaba Khamenei was injured on February 28 during a joint US-Israeli military operation in Iran. It was reported that his father, Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and his wife were killed in the attack.
An Iranian official stated that the blast wave caused Mojtaba Khamenei to fall, resulting in injuries to his knee and back. He also sustained a small cut behind his ear. The back injury has already healed, and the knee is expected to fully recover soon. The small cut behind his ear is hidden by his turban.
Officials emphasized that there is no cause for concern regarding Khamenei's health, stating that "enemies are attempting to obtain information or recordings about the Supreme Leader and cause him harm."
At the same time, this marks the first time the Iranian government has officially disclosed details regarding the injuries sustained by the new Supreme Leader.
Khamenei assumed the position of Supreme Leader following his father's death. After this event, the US announced a $10 million reward for information leading to his capture or that of other key officials.
