Iran’s new supreme leader ‘safe and sound’ despite war injury reports — president’s son



March 11 (The Times of Israel) - Iran’s new supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei is “safe and sound” despite reports of an injury on the opening day of US-Israeli strikes on the country, says the son of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian.

“I heard news that Mr Mojtaba Khamenei had been injured. I have asked some friends who had connections. They told me that, thank God, he is safe and sound,” says Yousef Pezeshkian, who is also a government adviser, in a post on his Telegram channel.

State television have called Khamenei a “wounded veteran of the Ramadan war,” referring to the current war, but never specified his injury. The New York Times reported earlier today that Khamenei sustained injuries to his legs on the war’s first day, February 28, when his father, supreme leader Ali Khamenei, was killed in an airstrike.
