Iranian government adviser Yousef Pezeshkian stated that the country’s new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is safe and healthy following widespread rumors that he had been injured in an attack. Pezeshkian, who is the son of President Masoud Pezeshkian, shared the update through an Instagram story, saying he had verified the information with friends connected to Khamenei.

Earlier, Iran’s state television had described Mojtaba Khamenei as a “wounded veteran of the Ramadan war,” but did not provide any details about the nature or timing of his injuries. The lack of official clarification fueled speculation across social media and other channels.

Amid ongoing conflict conditions, various unverified reports have circulated about Iran’s top leadership. Authorities have said that such information is being officially checked to prevent misinformation from spreading further.
