Iran’s new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is safe and in good health, according to Iranian government adviser Yousef Pezeshkian. His statement came after reports circulated that Khamenei had been injured in an attack. Pezeshkian, son of President Masoud Pezeshkian, shared the update through an Instagram story, saying he confirmed Khamenei’s condition through contacts close to him.

Earlier, Iranian state television described Mojtaba Khamenei as a “wounded veteran of the Ramadan war” but did not provide details about the nature or extent of any injuries. The state media offered no confirmation of whether he was actually hurt.

Amid ongoing wartime conditions, various rumors and unverified information have spread regarding Iran’s top leadership. The government is reportedly verifying these claims to counter misinformation, according to Al Jazeera.
