Iran’s new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is still recovering from severe facial and leg injuries suffered in the airstrike that killed his father at the beginning of the war, three people close to his inner circle told Reuters.
Khamenei’s face was disfigured in the attack on the supreme leader’s compound in central Tehran and he suffered a significant injury to one or both legs, all three sources said.
The 56-year-old is nonetheless recovering from his wounds and remains mentally sharp, according to the people, who requested anonymity to discuss sensitive matters.
He is taking part in meetings with senior officials via audio conferencing and is engaged in decision-making on major issues including the war and negotiations with Washington, two of them said.
The question of whether Khamenei’s health allows him to run state affairs comes during Iran’s moment of gravest peril for decades, with high-stakes peace talks with the United States opening in the Pakistani capital Islamabad on Saturday.
The accounts of the people close to Khamenei’s inner circle provide the most detailed description of the leader’s condition for weeks. Reuters couldn’t independently verify their descriptions.
Khamenei’s whereabouts, condition and ability to rule still largely remain a mystery to the public, with no photo, video or audio recording of him published since the air attack and his subsequent appointment as his father’s replacement on March 8.

Between his legs is the disfigurement, guess this means he cant bang goats anymore..please..he’s DEAD, he died the day of the blast that took out his father..they are doing what worked for the Biden administration, have a cardboard cutout be President for four yrs and call it a day
Is ‘they’ brandishing an AK-47?
Dang it, you beat me to it! :)
Guess the Supreme Homotola is still alive...maybe.
He remains mentally sharp.
Not unlike the Biden Administration.
True.
Exactly.
That pic is so funny, but at the same time so sad. He was our “leader”. Smh
“Iran’s new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is still recovering from severe facial and leg injuries suffered in the airstrike that killed his father at the beginning of the war”. His mistake was he cut the blue wire first, should have cut the green wire.
Iran also has severe and disfiguring wounds more needs to ensue.
He remains mentally sharp…while in a coma.
Think the phrase should read as “he has been (comma)...dead since February 28th”.
He’s in a comma-— permanently with a no longer hanging participle or legs for that matter.
Wonder how long these morons will keep this up. A live video, with identifiers it is... the One.. with audio not AI generated with not AI lips moving to speak.... hey, that’s the ticket as proof of life.
He identifies as Loretta.
That works for any islamic....all the lovely water.
DOES HE HAVE AN AUTO PEN ?????
Rumor has it he now looks like Rep. Al Green but with a body like JB Pritzker from lack of exercise.
Jimmy Carter insinuated himself into undermining the US in foreign countries, without portfolio as a diplomat.
Maybe Joe Biden can be sent to meet with this Supreme Leader. They could have a level playing field of understanding.
