Hind Al Soulia - Riyadh - TEHRAN — Iran's new supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei is "safe and sound" despite reports of an injury during the US-Israeli bombing on the country, said the son of the Iranian president on Wednesday.
“I heard reports that Agha Mojtaba had been injured,” said Yousef Pezeshkian, in a report published by the semi-official Iranian news agency ISNA Wednesday.
“I asked some people who were in contact with him. They said that, thank God, he is safe and there are no concerns,” added Pezeshkian, who is also a government adviser.
State television had called Khamenei a "wounded veteran of the Ramadan war" but never specified his injury, leading many to speculate over his health.
Mojtaba Khamenei, 56, is the son of the late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Khamenei has not been seen since, nor has he given any statement since becoming supreme leader on Monday.
