A dramatic new twist may be unfolding in Iran’s leadership crisis as speculation grows that newly appointed Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei may have been injured during the ongoing war involving Israel and the United States. Questions surfaced after Iranian state media hinted that Mojtaba might have been wounded during the recent strikes that reportedly killed his father and former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Reports suggest state outlets used language often reserved for individuals injured or sacrificing in conflict, while avoiding any recent on-camera appearance of the new leader.
