WASHINGTON — President Trump was stunned to learn last week that US intelligence indicates new Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei may be gay — and that his father, the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, feared his suitability to rule the Islamic Republic for that reason, The Post can reveal.
Trump couldn’t contain his surprise and laughed aloud when he was briefed on the intel, according to sources.
Others in the room also found it “hilarious” and joined the president’s reaction, while one senior intelligence official “has not stopped laughing about it for days,” said one person familiar with the briefing.
The shocking claim was described to The Post by two intelligence community officials and a third person close to the White House.
All three sources say the implausible-sounding allegation is viewed as credible by US spy agencies, rather than false information intended to undermine Khamenei, 56, who was selected to replace his dead father as supreme leader on March 8.
Two of the sources said the intelligence indicated that Mojtaba, who earned the nickname “the power behind the robes” while serving as his aging dad’s gatekeeper, has had a long-term sexual relationship with his childhood tutor.
The third source said the intelligence indicated the affair was with a person who formerly worked for the Khamenei family.
Mojtaba, who is believed to have been wounded in the same Feb. 28 airstrike that killed his father and other members of his family, has made “aggressive” sexual overtures to men caring for him, possibly while under the influence of heavy medication, one of The Post’s sources said.

The current Supreme Leader of the Shia religion and the Iran government was married until his wife was killed in recent bombing, as was one of his sons.
News agencies differ on this, with initial reports saying the wife of the previous Supreme Leader was killed, not the wife of the current Supreme Leader. These reports have reversed.
Details on other sons are concealed.
Iran purports itself to be a revolutionary republic.
Why does a self-described revolutionary republic have primogeniture?
Well, that gives him a right to migrate to the US as a persecuted refugee, facing certain death by rooftop in his home country..
Plenty of LGBTQ groups willing to help...
Agreed. We have a Princess from South Carolina who is far more dangerous than the Supreme Leader of Iran.

Democrats: But! But! Don’t call it gay if it’s man on boy!!
Probably trying to get him to make a statement or tip off his location.
going through life as stupid, Muslim AND gay, ain’t no way to live.
Sorry, Mojtaba, you missed in life’s lottery.
Well damn and here I thought he was banging goats, now I find out he was banging dudes..well, we have heard that he cant pick it up, guess thats not necessary if he’s a homo
A “lightweight” who’s light in the sandals 👡 🩴.
I think all the men involved with that activity should have their anuses violently ripped open and left to die.
I wonder what Scott Bessent (Trump’s Treasury Sec), Peter Theil (one of Trump and Vance’s biggest backers) and Rick Grennel (Trumps former DNI) think about this?
reddit.com-—Why do some gay men insist on everyone being gay?
I get annoyed that some gay guys try to project their homosexuality on everybody and say things like “you know you’ve always struck me as kinda gay”. Or “you know you could be gay, you never know until you’ve tried it ;)”. .......just because you’re gay doesn’t mean I am.
It’s really annoying when a gay guy is dead-set on wanting you to be gay.
I’m annoyed by gay dudes keep giving out hints and suggesting you might be secretly gay or bi.......
Buzz off. You don’t get to tell me what my identity is.
If you say anything you might risk getting called a homophobe.
But it’s definitely harassment. If I’m not gay and I’ve stated that clearly, don’t keep insisting on that.
It’s even worse when older gay men try to flirt with you.
I once was hit on by a 50 year old dude when I was 20.
I don’t know what goes through their mind.

No surprise to those “in the know”.....Trump told Iran’s
new supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei is probably gay
If you read extensively on the subject, you find gay
people think EVERYBODY’S gay.........just repressed.
His wife was always curious why he had a picture of David Hasslehoff over the bed. “Doctor’s order,” the Ayatollah would say.
