Mojtaba Khamenei Appears in Rare Video Amid Health Rumours
· World · Times of India, Hindustan Times, Moneycontrol
Mojtaba Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Iran, appeared in a newly released archival video from Fars News to counter speculation regarding his health. The footage shows him presiding over a religious academic discussion, marking the first time his voice has been clearly heard in such a recording. This release follows claims by US President Donald Trump that Mojtaba was seriously injured in the February 28 strikes that killed his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has officially rejected reports of Mojtaba's critical condition, stating he is completely healthy. Mojtaba has largely avoided public appearances since assuming his role earlier this year.
