Kermanpour went further stressing that Khamenei’s wounds resulted in neither amputation of any body part nor any form of permanent disability. The statement aimed to address growing public speculation about the leader’s true physical condition.

Earlier, Mazaher Hosseini the head of the protocol office of Iran’s Supreme Leader confirmed that Mojtaba Khamenei is steadily recovering. Hosseini detailed three specific injuries: a back wound, a knee injury, and a laceration behind his ear.

A New Leader, Still Out of Public Sight

Mojtaba Khamenei stepped into the role of Supreme Leader after his father Ali Khamenei was killed on the very first day of the US and Israeli strikes on Iran. Those strikes began on February 28. The younger Khamenei was formally elected to the nation’s top leadership post in the early hours of March 9.

Since his election, Mojtaba Khamenei has not appeared in public even once a fact that has fuelled intense speculation inside and outside Iran. His office has released several messages in his name either read aloud by television anchors or distributed in written form but no live or recorded video of the new leader has emerged.
